Starbucks Singapore reported data breach

On Sept. 16, Starbucks Singapore reported its customer database was breached online, with local media reporting that 200,000 individual's information was stolen.

The coffee chain said in an email to customers that it had discovered some unauthorized access to details such as:

  • Full names,
  • Gender,
  • Dates of birth,
  • Phone numbers,
  • Home addresses.
Relevant authorities have been informed and Starbucks Singapore is assisting them on this matter.

The firm said it was made aware of the breach on Sept. 13, and that no credit card details were taken as it does not store them.

Starbucks urged customers to reset their passwords.

Recently, one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in India IPCA Laboratories became a victim of a ransomware operation that claims to have stolen 500 GB of data.
