Hundreds of Lowe’s customers’ personal information compromised
US (WSOC) — Personal information connected to hundreds of Lowe’s customers has been compromised.
The breach is connected to a fax machine in Vancouver, Canada.
The company that owns the machine does not want to be identified, but said they have received more than 250 pages of customer order information in recent days.
Lowe’s corporate communications representative Karen Cobb released the following statement:
“We take the protection of customer information seriously. As soon as we obtained copies of the faxes Ms. Holden said she received, we began looking into the situation.
We are trying to determine whether her fax number could have been mis-associated with any other vendor or party. We are taking steps to stop any faxes to her number. We have no information that any personal financial information has been disclosed.”
