Epson has seen its South Korean servers be pirated. Result, the personal data of 350,000 customers were intercepted.
Since Sony servers very media piracy, the pressure is not settled on industrialists who continue to be concerned by various more or less serious attacks. This time, it's Epson which in fact costs in South Korea where its servers dropped against hackers attacks successful at is steal data bases containing personal information of nearly 350,000 customers. Addresses e-mail, phone numbers, postal addresses and passwords... There is no obviously up. Fortunately, no banking information is a priori stored by Epson.
No one knows what these pirates will make the data thus retrieved, even if we can imagine that they are in used to organize campaigns of phishing to retrieve even more sensitive data to affected users. They could for example use of false updates to Epson products to introduce on the machines of these clients. Or use many other techniques to deceive their vigilance. This is why Epson calls, first, its customers to intensify mistrust.
Epson also called on South Koreans to change their words of passes on other services that they have used to use and customers where they could store sensitive data... If of course they were used to use the same password on different services (Facebook, Hotmail, online banks, etc.). Because it is cutting the stolen information that hackers may attempt to usurp the identity of these users to take advantage!
