Learn More
The popular fashion retailer Forever 21, has reported a data breach affecting 539,207 individuals. This information was made available through a filing submitted by the global law firm Norton Rose Fulbright.
The data breach remained undetected for a considerable period of time - stretching from January 5, 2023, to March 21, 2023.
The data breach notice mentions the following data types as potentially exposed:
- Full name
- Social Security Number (SSN)
- Date of Birth
- Bank Account Number
- Forever 21 Health Plan information
Interestingly, the breach's discovery occurred quite some time after the breach period ended, on August 4, 2023. This delay in identifying the breach adds to the complexity of the situation and raises questions about the effectiveness of the security measures in place.
Forever 21 has yet to issue an official comment with more details about the breach, including the cause of the breach and exposed data.
