The cultural products distribution brand Cultura announced on Tuesday, September 10, a data theft from one of its service providers, containing personal information of one and a half million customers.

The name, first name, telephone number, email and postal address as well as the content of the orders of these customers are concerned by this data leak, specifies Cultura in a press release. Passwords or banking data have not been compromised, however, the brand claims.

On Monday, household appliance and multimedia specialist Boulanger said it had been the victim of a “act of cyber malice” on the night of September 6-7 on “a few hundred thousand customers”. On forums specializing in the resale of data resulting from hacking consulted by AFP, the same account offers for resale the data stolen from Cultura and Boulanger. Cultura indicated that it had filed a complaint.
