Notice of Data Breach: 2/8/17

 

Dear Customer:

At Logic Supply, information security and safeguarding your information is our highest priority. This note is to inform you of a data security breach. As a precautionary measure, your password has been reset for your protection.

What Happened?

Monday, February 6th, we discovered unauthorized access to our website, which made some customer information vulnerable. Once we discovered the breach, we blocked their access, deployed a security patch and took other security measures. We believe the vulnerability and access was for roughly 30 minutes. There were no breaches of any of our other internal applications, resources or ERP system.

What information was involved?

In stark contrast to well publicized retail breaches, no credit card or other financial information was involved in the attack. (We do not keep credit card numbers on file.) Additionally, because the breach was limited to our website, the breach did not involve any customer software imaged onto our PCs or other proprietary product information.

However the attacker may have accessed, among other things:

LogicSupply.com Username & Password

Customer (Company) names

Order information

What are we doing?

We have stopped this attack and secured our network. Additionally, we are continuing to monitor all accounts for suspicious activity and taken actions to update our Security Program. As a precautionary measure, we have executed a password reset for all account holders and are asking you to create a new password prior to your next login. (See Instructions Below).

Please click here or navigate to the 'My Account' area on our website and use the 'Forgot Your Password' feature to create a new password.

What can you do?

While a password reset will protect your Logic Supply account, we advise all customers to take the necessary actions to protect your security and change your password on any other websites that might use the same or similar information.

Safeguarding your information is one of our highest priorities and one that we don’t take lightly. We regret that this incident occurred and any inconvenience this may cause you in resetting your password. If you have any questions with regard to this matter, please contact us by replying directly to this email or by phone.

I never clicked anything. I checked their site, never ordered from them. I checked my CC, too. Nothing was added.

 

Tell me, is this a scam or some random carp?

Even if you were using that website you would have completely random passwords for every site right?

 

Could be spam, or it could the site doesn't use email verification and someone mistyped their email address and used yours.

 

I've had that happen a few times with someone with the first letter as my name and the same last name. I've gotten the same girls stuff a few times because some sites obviously don't verify the email when creating an account.

 

If you ever wonder why sites want you to open an email and click a link when creating an account, this is why.

 

But if you've never used that site in your life, just ignore it.

Do you deal with this company in any way? If not, ignore.

This! if I don't recognize the organization that sent the email... I just automatically delete it.

Nope, like I said, never ordered from them...

Well, they are a legit company and they DID have a data breach on Feb 6th so if you never registered on their site but got that email (check those headers) then my concern would be that someone else used your email address to register. Maybe they have a very similar email address and mistyped it  and it was a mistake. None the less, if that email came from LogicSupply then your email was part of the breach.

I'm going with scam if you've NEVER used their site.

Keywords.. Dear customer. Legit sites generally, will use your name as they have it on record.

Too much emphasis on what they did in order to counter the breach.

Links most likely do not go to where they advertise. A mouse over gives that away.

Asking for you to log in via the specified address offered.

 

I am going off of experience with similar emails and telephone calls I've received. With a lot of the legitimate sites, they'll always tell you something similar to what I've posted. 

 

Best to ignore it if you've never used them. If you have, there's usually some way to contact them that isn't an email (telephone call) and they can confirm or deny this. (The breach)
