- Polar’s US online store suffered a data breach last week.
- Fortunately, only a few accounts were compromised by the hack.
- If you weren’t already contacted by the company, then there’s nothing you need to do.
Data breaches happen so frequently these days that it seems like we’ve become almost desensitized to the announcement of a hack. Despite that, data breaches are nothing to take lightly. Smartwatch maker Polar is the latest company to report being hacked, but fortunately, the incident doesn’t sound too serious.
In a statement on its website, Polar reveals it was “subjected to various levels of disruption” on its US online store. While the attack led to compromised accounts, it says only a few customers were impacted by the breach.
