Canadian Tire Corp. Ltd. says it has identified a data breach involving personal information belonging to customers, which was stored in an e-commerce database.<\/p>\n
The retailer says the breached information belongs to shoppers who had an e-commerce account with Canadian Tire or its other banners, SportChek, Mark’s\/L’Equipeur and Party City.<\/p>\n
The breached data included names, addresses, emails and birth years, as well as encrypted passwords and in some cases incomplete credit card numbers.<\/p>\n
Canadian Tire says the full dates of birth for some 150,000 account holders were also part of the breach.<\/p>\n
The company says the information breached is not enough to access accounts and make purchases and that the incident did not impact its ability to facilitate in-store transactions.<\/p>\n
Canadian Tire says it has resolved the vulnerability it identified on Oct. 2 and is working with experts to enhance its security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Canadian Tire Corp.
