Dutch retailer De Bijenkorf warns customer data may be exposed after cyber incident
Dutch luxury retailer De Bijenkorf has notified customers that their personal data may have been compromised following a cyber incident at a third-party logistics provider. The Amsterdam-based chain has not disclosed the scope of the breach or which provider was involved.
Why this matters: You did not give your data to a logistics company. You gave it to a retailer. But that retailer handed it to a vendor, and now it may be exposed. This is how most retail breaches actually work — the company customers trust is not the one that got hit. Third-party risk is real, and customers rarely have any way to know how many hands their data passes through. De Bijenkorf owes its customers a clear account of what was taken, who had it, and why.
