Well, I may have to walk back some of my praise for outdoor gear company Bailey’s after I first read and reported on a payment card breach they discovered and disclosed.
The firm has updated its breach disclosure after subsequently discovering that the breach did not begin in September, 2015, and it wasn’t 15,000 affected. According to their updated notification, the breach began in December, 2011 and affected 250,000.
They still get brownie points for transparency, but lost a few points for having a breach go undetected for so many years.
