The Halloween Spot Data Breach (2019)

If you are a customer of The Halloween Spot, here’s what’s now in circulation.

In September 2019, the Halloween costume store The Halloween Spot suffered a data breach. Originally misattributed to fancy dress store Smiffys, the breach contained 13GB of data with over 10k unique email addresses alongside names, physical and IP addresses, phone numbers and order histories. The Halloween Spot advised customers the breach was traced back to "an old shipping information database".
