Hmm. This one could result in big numbers.
A notification from Title Nine about Annex Cloud. Annex Cloud is a service provider that you may never have heard of but may have used many times. The notification explains:
Annex Cloud provides a service that enables individuals to use their user name and password from social media and other websites, like Facebook and Google, to login to merchants’ websites, including www.titlenine.com. Annex Cloud recently informed Title Nine that they had detected and removed unauthorized code that had been inserted into Annex Cloud’s systems that operate its login application. In its report, Annex Cloud identified four periods of time when the unauthorized code was present and could have captured information entered during the checkout process on our website. We removed Annex Cloud’s code from our website and mailed letters to those customers to let them know what occurred.
Despite its first report that only identified four time periods, Annex Cloud informed Title Nine that they had identified additional time periods between December 28, 2017 and July 9, 2018 when the unauthorized code was or could have been present. If present, the unauthorized code could have captured information entered during the checkout process on our website. Through October 25, 2018, Title Nine sought additional information from Annex Cloud to determine the transactions that might be involved, and Annex Cloud supplied additional information about their analysis regarding these periods, including their belief that there are certain times inside these additional periods when it cannot be determined if the unauthorized code was present. Thus, we are notifying you because you entered information during the checkout process during a time period when it is possible the unauthorized code may have been present.
What Information Was Involved
The information entered during the checkout process that the code may have been accessed includes name, address, payment card number, expiration date, and card security code (CVV).
So then today, I saw saw this notification from Stein Mart.
I wonder how many more notifications we will see linked to Annex Cloud.
