Shopify Reveals Shopper Data Compromised

Shopify (NYSE: SHOP) revealed on an online discussion forum that customer data was exposed when "two rogue members" of the company's support team were "engaged in a scheme to obtain customer transactional records of certain merchants." The individuals accessed the records of fewer than 200 merchants before the incident was exposed. When the breach was discovered, the offending employees were immediately locked out of Shopify's network and the information was turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
