Greetings everyone,
Adidas has experienced a data breach, that compromised millions of customers' personal Information. The extend of the data disclosure may not be conclusively determined. However, given that usernames and contact details are part of the equation, Identities can certainly be built from the ground up, let alone other acts of malicious nature when In the hands of the attackers.

Quote:Sports brand and trainer maker Adidas has suffered a data breach that may have spilled the personal information of potentially millions of its customers.
"On June 26, Adidas became aware that an unauthorized party claims to have acquired limited data associated with certain Adidas consumers," the German company told its customers last week.
The swiped data included the usernames and encrypted passwords of Adidas customers, as well as their contact information. However, Adidas does not believe that any payment details or data on customer fitness was stolen.
Currently, there is not a lot in the way of information to how the data breach occurred, the impact of the data leak, or indeed the methods the hacker or hackers may have used to get hold of the information. Adidas noted it is carrying out a "forensic review" to ascertain more information about the breach, as well as notify its customers.
