Whether you’re shopping online or even in person, your data can still end up in the hands of hackers through no fault of your own. Case in point, the U.S. pharmacy Rite Aid has revealed that it suffered a data breach last month which saw the personal information of 2.2 million of its customers stolen by hackers.
As reported by BleepingComputer, the drugstore chain detected a “data security incident” at the beginning of last month in which personal data but not financial data — like Social Security numbers or credit card details — was stolen from its systems.
