Neiman Marcus Says 4.6 Million Online Accounts Exposed In A May 2020 Data Breach

Neiman Marcus revealed the discovery of a data breach into its consumers’ online accounts system in May 2020, which exposed the personal and payment information of about 4.6 million shoppers.

Credit Card Details Exposed

According to the company’s announcement, the Neiman Marcus Data Breach affected consumers’ names, contact information, payment card numbers, and expiration dates, as well as Neiman Marcus virtual gift card numbers, and also usernames, passwords, and security questions and answers linked with Neiman Marcus online accounts.

The CVV numbers of exposed payment cards and the PINs of Neiman Marcus virtual gift cards were not accessed. Over 85% of the impacted payment and virtual gift cards are expired or invalid.

There are no active Neiman Marcus credit cards affected. Additionally, the company asserts that it believes no online consumer accounts linked with Bergdorf Goodman nor Horchow were affected.

Despite the fact that the data breach happened over a year ago, Neiman Marcus reports that it became aware of the matter in September.
