Cosmetics Chain Rituals Hit in Latest Dutch Cyber Attack - dutchnews.nl
The company said no passwords or payment details were taken and is monitoring the stolen records for any appearance on the dark web.
- On Wednesday, Rituals confirmed a data breach affecting members of its MyRituals membership program, though the Amsterdam-based cosmetics retailer declined to disclose the total number of affected customers.
- Founded in Amsterdam in 2000, Rituals operates more than 1,500 shops across 33 countries and maintains a membership database containing over 41 million customers, making it an attractive target for data theft.
- Stolen information includes full names, dates of birth, gender, postal and email addresses, and phone numbers, though Rituals stated that no passwords or payment details were compromised.
- Customers are advised to watch for phishing messages, since criminals can use real names and birth dates to craft convincing fraudulent emails; Rituals is working with external specialists to monitor the dark web.
- The incident follows recent breaches at Booking, Basic-Fit, and the United Kingdom grocery chain Co-op, with telecoms firm Odido facing mass claims after refusing a ransom demand in February.
