The Good Guys | 2021 Hack
The Good Guys, one of Australia's largest discount warehouse retailers, recently announced that it had experienced a data breach that could have potentially impacted 1.85 million past and present members of its Concierge loyalty program.
The breach was attributed to an incident that occurred at Pegasus Group Australia, the company responsible for running Good Guys' loyalty program, which has since been renamed My Rewards. While the breach is certainly a cause for concern, The Good Guys has reassured its customers that it is taking the necessary steps to notify those affected and that no sensitive customer data such as identity documents, passports, driver's licenses, or credit card data was compromised. The company has also stated that it no longer has a relationship with My Rewards.
While data breaches are never ideal, it's encouraging to see that The Good Guys is taking swift action to address the situation and keep its customers informed.
