The luxury retailer Neiman Marcus said a recent breach that exposed the information of more than 64,000 people was traced back to the company’s account with data storage provider Snowflake.
The company filed regulatory documents in Maine and Vermont this week, which said names, contact information, dates of birth, and Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman gift card numbers were accessed by hackers.
A spokesperson for Neiman Marcus Group confirmed to Recorded Future News that the unauthorized party gained access through a platform “provided by a third party, Snowflake.”
“Promptly after discovering the incident, NMG took steps to contain it, including by disabling access to the platform. We also began an investigation with assistance from leading cybersecurity experts and notified law enforcement authorities,” the spokesperson said.
According to the filing in Maine, 64,472 were affected by the incident. Identity theft protection services were not offered to victims.
