Funky Pigeon website suspends orders after ‘cyber security incident’

Online card company Funky Pigeon has suspended all orders from its websites amid a "cyber security incident".

The WHSmith-owned retailer said it has been targeted by hackers last Thursday and was forced to shut off its systems as a safety measure. It is not yet clear if any personal data was accessed but the company has said it is investigating if there was a breach of customer names, addresses, email addresses and personalised card designs.

Despite this, the company has announced that no payment information or customer accounts passwords were accessed as a result of the hacking incident. Funky Pigeon has also stated that it will write to all customers who used the service in the past 12 months so that they are made aware of the incident, the Mirror reports.
