Adidas Warns of Data Breach After Customer Service Provider Hack (bleepingcomputer.com) 10
German sportswear giant Adidas disclosed a data breach after attackers hacked a customer service provider and stole some customers' data. From a report: "adidas recently became aware that an unauthorized external party obtained certain consumer data through a third-party customer service provider," the company said. "We immediately took steps to contain the incident and launched a comprehensive investigation, collaborating with leading information security experts."
Adidas added that the stolen information did not include the affected customers' payment-related information or passwords, as the threat actors behind the breach only gained access to contact. The company has also notified the relevant authorities regarding this security incident and will alert those affected by the data breach.

For what reason would someone give personal information of Adidas? Don't they sell clothes and shoes? How did they get this information?
Gee, I wonder how they got Customer contact information. Perhaps the concept of Customer Service has something to do with it. /s
And in order to mitigate clickbait bullshit, "customers data" could be nothing more than a damn name. Also known as what is openly bragged about on social media today by the Narcissist Generation who ironically assumes Privacy is still a thing they're defending. Somehow.

...you should never give tour personal details in any support chat rooms. They will remain in easily accessible, low-security vault forever, waiting to be stolen.
