Boomerang still not telling customers whether they’ve confirmed a security breach

Posted on January 16, 2015 by Dissent

In today’s installment, Boomerang offers customers “£12 worth of Payback Points and Exclusive Access to Bonus Games,” but there’s no mention as to whether they’ve confirmed they had a security breach (previous coverage here).

Of course, some forensic investigations take more time than customers would like, but there is absolutely no statement that I can see on Boomerang’s web site home page to alert customers to a possible security issue with their payment data, even though numerous customers have been complaining.

And so this blogger tweeted to Boomerang this morning:

@boomeranggames Has Boomerang determined whether it had a security breach? If so, where is the acknowledgement?
