Netshoes Data Breach

What happened?

In December 2017, the online Brazilian retailer known as Netshoes had half a million records allegedly hacked from their system posted publicly . The company was contacted by local Brazilian media outlet Tecmundo and subsequently advised that no indications have been identified of an invasion of the company's systems . However, Netshoes' own systems successfully confirm the presence of matching identifiers and email addresses from the data set, indicating a high likelihood that the data originated from them.

When did it happen?

The breach date in the public record is December 7, 2017. The record was added to the catalogue on December 10, 2017 and last updated there on December 10, 2017.
