Shoe Zone data breach

What happened

In June 2024, the UK footwear chain Shoe Zone disclosed a data breach that was subsequently posted for sale on a popular hacking forum. The data included over 100k orders containing names, addresses, partial credit card numbers (card type and last 4 digits), and 46k unique email addresses.

What data leaked

• Email addresses
• Names
• Partial credit card data
• Physical addresses
• Purchases

What to do if you had an account

1. Turn on two-step sign-in. Enable two-factor authentication where the service offers it, preferably with an authenticator app or a passkey. A leaked password alone is then not enough to get in.
2. Expect targeted phishing. Leaked contact details are used to write convincing fake messages that mention the breached company or your real name. Do not click links in unexpected emails or texts about this account; go to the site by typing its address.
3. Check your bank statements. Review recent card and account transactions and report anything you do not recognise. If full card numbers were exposed, ask your bank to replace the card.
