Data leak at Amorelie: Customer data was openly visible

Amorelie has informed its customers about a sensitive data leak. Thus, it was possible to view not only the orders placed, but also other customer information at the successful online mail order company for erotic products.

Sensitive data visible

The popular erotic mail order company has written a real success story in recent years. While the company was tiredly smiled at in the beginning, Amorelie has managed to modernize and revolutionize the market of erotic products over the years. After all the positive news about the retailer, however, a small damper must now be addressed. Thus, the company has to lament a sensitive data leak. Amorelie immediately informed its customers about this. The mass of accessible data is unfortunately frightening. Thus, not only order data, but also customer information of order processes from a total of seven years were visible.

Comprehensive data records

In addition to order information on purchased items, it was also possible to view the e-mail address, address and name of the corresponding customers via the data leak. Although it was also possible to view the payment method, details such as credit card data were probably not affected. It is commendable that Amorelie immediately informed the affected customers. However, there is reason to complain if you consider that the company is keeping a low profile to the public regarding the security vulnerability. For example, it is still unknown how many customers are actually affected by the security problem.

There is said to have been no data theft

A good news there is then but the announce. So far there have been no indications that third parties have gained access to customer data via the security gap. Amorelie itself has, by the way, according to its own information on 22 November this year from the problems learned. Shortly after becoming aware of it, the mail-order company would like to have closed the sensitive data leak again. Unfortunately, this security problem is not the only one that the retailer is facing. It is now known that “smart sex toys” can open the door to criminals. In particular, remote-controlled toys play a major role in this. The same could still be controlled far too easily by unauthorized third parties if they gain access.
