1-800 Flowers has reported a breach in their system that occurred between February 15 and February 17.
In a letter to customers, Bibi Brown, vice president of customer experience, wrote the following:
"Our customer service team received reports on Feb. 15, 2016 from several customers indicating that they were unable to complete their online orders. Our operations team initiated an investigation and identified signs of unauthorized access to the network that operates our e-commerce platform."
He goes on to explain that during that 33 hour period, hackers may have gained access to customers' orders, which commonly include their personal information such as their name, address, email address, and payment card data.
There has been no indication as to how the company was breached.
Joseph Pititto, the company's senior vice president, said that he has received no reports that any of the affected information has been incorporated into any sort of attack or other malicious campaign.
With that in mind, if you attempted to make a purchase with 1-800 FLOWERS during the affected 33-hour period, please take care to watch your credit transaction history carefully.
