Online shoe seller Zappos.com says a hacker may have accessed the personal information of up to 24 million customers.
Customers’ credit card and payment information was not stolen, but names, phone numbers, email addresses, billing and shipping addresses, the last four digits from credit cards and more may have been accessed in the attack, according to an email that CEO Tony Hsieh sent to employees Sunday.
Zappos is emailing customers and urging them to change their passwords.
Zappos said the hacker gained access to its internal network and systems through one of the company’s servers in Kentucky. Based in Las Vegas, Zappos is owned by Seattle-based Amazon.com.
