Reading Time: 3 Minutes Hacked, againMailchimp, a company that specializes in email marketing and newsletters, has announced that it was hacked and that dozens of customers’ data was exposed. This is the second time the company has been hacked in the past six months, with the current incident being almost identical to the previous one.

The company says that its security team detected an intruder on January 11th accessing one of its internal tools used by Mailchimp customer support and account administration.

The hacker targeted Mailchimp’s employees and contractors with a social engineering attack, in which they used manipulation techniques to gain private information, like passwords.

One of the targeted accounts belongs to e-commerce giant WooCommerce.

While WooCommerce states that there is no indication that the stolen data has been misused, threat actors commonly use this type of data for targeted phishing attacks to steal credentials or install malware.
