US (CA): Stiiizy notifies public of data breach, information theft

Stiiizy, Inc. has informed the public about an incident potentially affecting personal information processed by one of Stiiizy's vendors.

What happened?
On November 20, 2024, Stiizy was notified by a vendor of point-of-sale processing services for some of our retail locations that accounts with their organization had been compromised by an organized cybercrime group. An investigation conducted by the vendor revealed that personal information relating to certain Stiiizy customers processed by the vendor was acquired by the threat actors on or around October 10, 2024 - November 10, 2024. Upon receiving notice of the incident, Stiiizy launched its own investigation to assess the extent of the impact. Stiiizy has determined that some of its customer's personal information and documents were acquired by the threat actors. Stiiizy has been working closely with the vendor and its legal counsel to address the situation, including determining the cause of the incident. This notification was not delayed by law enforcement.
