Hackers grab Spreadshirt data

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

Spreadshirt is actually known for funny printed T-shirts for all occasions, be it a hen party, a graduation party or simply the annual team trip with your 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 login details as quickly as possible.

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

But that's not all, as the company also admits: "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 bank transfer has been compromised."

Customers who have an account with Spreadshirt, or who have entered their bank details there once or several times, should change their details as soon as possible to prevent data thieves from misusing them.
