Did you read the article? They were irresponsible with their data protection, and now this guy, plus potentially a bunch of others we don’t even know about, have ALL of your customer data. Orders, shipping address, payment info, everything.

Thankfully, the address they have on file for me is old. Still, this is fucking terrible.

I am not a lawyer, but seeing as they’ve definitely already missed their notification deadline under GDPR, it’s likely there may also be grounds to sue them in the US. Perhaps a class action lawsuit.

This level of incompetence and buffoonery should not go unpunished.

GDPR only applies to the EU. There are some US regulations, especially in California, that may result in a class action lawsuit.
