How was customer data breached at Claire's Accessories?

Between March and June 2020, a hack occurred at the online store of Claire’s Accessories where a malicious code designed to obtain confidential information entered by customers during the checkout process was discovered. Purchases made in Claire’s retail stores were not involved in the data breach. The personal information at risk of compromise when entered during the checkout process included:

  • Names
  • Addresses
  • Email addresses
  • Phone numbers
  • Payment card numbers and expiration date
  • Card verification codes
  • Gift card numbers
  • PINs and passwords (for new accounts opened with the purchase)

    Magecart is the malware that was found on Claire’s servers and responsible for the hack. It is used for online skimming to allow hackers to steal transaction information that is entered during a purchase. It was reported that the code was placed directly onto Claire’s servers and the skimmer was linked to the submit button of the checkout form.

Frequently Asked Questions

Customers have the right to expect that any personal or financial data that they have shared with an organisation, such as Claire’s Accessories, is securely stored and handled. When data protection standards have fallen short, and in this case a hack has enabled unauthorised access to your personal data, you can make a claim for compensation.

Bringing a data breach claim not only gets you access to compensation, but also holds a company or organisation to account for their actions. As a result, this will usually prompt them to take the necessary steps to boost their data security measures to ensure that such a breach cannot occur again.

In this case since the breach Claire’s have offered affected customers one year of internet surveillance and identity theft insurance services and have taken measures to reinforce the security of their website.

If you think you may have a valid Claire’s Accessories data breach claim then get in touch with us and we will put you in touch with data breach experts who will make enquiries for you and confirm whether or not you have a valid claim worth pursuing.

We can put you in touch with legal experts who are putting together a group claim whereby the large number of customers can be part of a collective claim for Claire’s Accessories data breach compensation. Even if the breach has not led to any direct financial losses to you, you are still entitled to claim compensation for distress caused by the data breach.
