A major e-commerce company, VTEX, has been affected by a data leak that involves the personally identifiable information and sensitive data of more than 6 million people for more than half a year, according to an investigation from Cybernews. This is particularly concerning with a major shopping event like Amazon Prime Big Day Deals going on, as there will likely be even more scams, phishing attacks and fraud attempts.
