Android App Touchnote Succumbs to Hackers

The makers of the popular app for turning photos into postcards have notified customers by email that a data breach exposed their personal information. 

A spokesman for Touchnote said: “Yesterday, 4 November 2015, we received information confirming that Touchnote has been the victim of criminal activity, resulting in the theft of some of our customer data … The data that was accessed included your name, email address, postal address, date of birth and your Touchnote order history.”

The hackers also accessed the last four digits of customer credit card numbers. The company does not store any other card details. 

"Those behind the breach were not able to access customers’ passwords as the company encrypts them, but Touchnote is still recommending that customers change their passwords just in case," according to Aberdeen Press and Journal.
