Hackers grab Spreadshirt data

The cybercriminals have probably obtained sensitive data. Customers should change their access data.

Spreadshirt is actually known for funny printed T-shirts for all occasions, whether it's for the hen party, the graduation party or simply the annual team trip with your own club. Many people have therefore created an account with the later-stage start-up, which was founded in 2002, in recent years - and should now change their access data as quickly as possible.

Because as the company announced on Monday, hackers have gained access to sensitive customer data and were apparently able to copy them. In a statement it says: "The unknown persons succeeded in overcoming the high security standards and gaining access to internal data. Among other things, address and contract data of customers, partners, employees and external service providers are affected."

But that's not all, as the company must additionally admit: "In addition, the payment data of a small number of customers who paid by bank transfer at Spreadshirt, Spreadshop or TeamShirts or received a refund via this are compromised."

So customers who have an account with Spreadshirt, or have deposited their bank details there on one or more occasions, should change these details as soon as possible to prevent data thieves from misusing them.
