The following information may have been accessed if it was typed into the affected web-pages by a customer:

  • Payment card numbers
  • Payment card security codes
  • Payment card expiration dates
  • Full names
  • Addresses
  • Phone numbers

The breach affected an undisclosed number of customers who entered credit card data and hit the “place order” button on the Macys.com checkout page or who accessed the wallet page through the My Account section of the website.

The unauthorized access occurred due to malicious code added on October 7 and removed by Macy’s on October 15.

It has been reported that Macy’s has notified all impacted customers.
