Canadian Tire says recent breach of e-commerce database involved customer info

The breach exposed personal data of fewer than 150,000 e-commerce customers including encrypted passwords and partial credit card numbers, Canadian Tire said.

  • On Oct. 14, 2025, Canadian Tire Corp. Ltd. said it identified a data breach involving personal information stored in an e-commerce database.
  • The retailer said the breached records belonged to shoppers who had e-commerce accounts with Canadian Tire and its banners SportChek, Mark's/L'Equipeur and Party City.
  • Breached records included names, addresses, emails, birth years, encrypted passwords and in some cases incomplete credit card numbers; Canadian Tire said fewer than 150,000 account holders had full dates of birth exposed.
  • Canadian Tire says the breached data are insufficient to access accounts and make purchases, and the incident did not impact its ability to facilitate in-store transactions.
  • Earlier this month Canadian Tire said it resolved the vulnerability identified on Oct. 2 and is working with outside experts to enhance security.
