QuoteAbout 93,000 Web.com customers may have had their credit card information compromised in a hacking incident discovered five days ago, the company said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday.
Since the breach was discovered, the Jacksonville-based web services provider (NASDAQ:WWWW) said, it has had a national IT firm investigating the incident. The company said it did not know who entered its systems.
Customers who have been affected will get a year's worth of free credit monitoring, the company said.
That website says that credit numbers, names and addresses were collected, but not card validation codes.
The breach was discovered as part of ongoing security monitoring, the company said, and the access has been shut down.
"The breach was discovered at night and, upon discovering the breach, the company assessed the situation and took steps to notify the proper authorities — banking, state and federal authorities," the company said in the message to customers explaining why they are just releasing the news now. "Next we took the appropriate steps to reach out to affected customers."
Yikes, glad I resisted the temptation to work with web.com
