Hackers Steal Customer Information From Marston’s Brewery

From ComputerworldUK:

In an email to customers, the brewery said that people registered with its www.wychwood.co.uk website had been affected.

“We are writing to inform you that we have discovered that the database was the subject of a recent hacking attack, to let you know what we have done and are doing about it, and to give you advice on protecting yourself going forward,” Marston’s wrote.

Marston’s was alerted to the hacking by its hosting partner Digital Junkie. One person on the database had reported to Digital Junkie that he had, on 30 September 2013, received a phishing email, purporting to come from HSBC Bank, asking him to download a document in order to verify irregulat activity in his bank account. He received the email at an address he used only on the Wychwood site.
