Domino’s website hacked, data stolen

Paris: The database of Domino’s Pizza came under attack from hackers on Monday who stole the details of more than 600,000 customers — including their favourite toppings. A hacker known as Rex Mundi wrote on microbloging website Twitter that the details of cutomers would be released unless the firm paid the hacker £24,000.

Mundi said the “vulnerable” shared servers of Domino’s Pizza in France and Belgium were compromised, with a range of customer details stolen. But Domino’s Pizza executive Andre ten Wolde said the ransom demand would not be paid and a complaint has been lodged with a court in Paris.

He said that financial data such as credit cards, had not been stolen. In an online message, Mundi said: “Earlier this week, we hacked our way into the servers of Domino’s Pizza France and Belgium, who happen to share the same vulnerable database.”
