Toys “R” Us has informed customers in Canada of a cybersecurity incident that resulted in unauthorized access to personal information.
Toys “R” Us sent an email to customers in Canada, explaining that the toy company became aware of the incident on July 30, after an online post indicated that information had been stolen from its database.
One X user shared a screenshot of the email sent to customers, which states that the company immediately took action by hiring third-party cybersecurity experts to contain and investigate the incident.
“The investigation found that a subset of our customer records was copied from our database,” stated the email. “These records may have contained all or some of the following personal information relating to you: name, address, email, and phone number.”
