Mailchimp, one of Atlanta’s largest technology companies, was the victim of a hacking attempt that compromised accounts for more than 100 customers.
The email marketing organization owned by Intuit announced the security breach last week in a company blog post. A hacker gained access to the company’s customer support and account administration systems on Jan. 11, exposing information for 133 Mailchimp accounts. It’s the second time since March where Mailchimp’s systems were hacked, compromising its customers’ data.
A Mailchimp spokesperson told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution the hackers were not able to obtain credit card or password information during the most recent incident.
