Email marketing leader Mailchimp hacked, customers’ data compromised

Email marketing leader Mailchimp has admitted it was hacked and at least 133 customers’ data was exposed.

It’s the second time the company was hacked in the past nine months.

“Based on our investigation to date, this targeted incident has been limited to 133 Mailchimp accounts. There is no evidence that this compromise affected Intuit systems or customer data beyond these Mailchimp accounts,” the company said in a statement.

The Mailchimp Security team identified an unauthorised actor accessing one of its tools used by its customer-facing teams for customer support and account administration.
