Online greetings card and gifts supplier Funky Pigeon has stopped taking orders after being hit by a cyber attack last week. Bosses said the firm is writing to all customers from the past 12 months to inform them of the hack.
It added that “no customer payment data” is at risk and said it does not believe that any customers’ account passwords have been affected. The WH Smith-owned company said it has taken its systems offline “as a precaution” and is therefore unable to fulfil any orders, reports the Mirror.
It said in a statement: “As soon as we discovered the incident last Thursday, we launched a forensic investigation led by external experts to understand the incident and whether there has been any impact on customer data. We are currently investigating the extent to which any personal data – specifically names, addresses, e-mail addresses and personalised card and gift designs – has been accessed."
