TEMPTU has been working closely with cybersecurity experts and the payment card brands to protect its customers’ payment cards. TEMPTU had already changed its payment software when it first became aware that the earlier version of the platform may have had malware installed by some unknown actor.
Based on the Company’s investigation, it appears that payment cards used by customers for online purchases between January 4, 2019, and August 6, 2019, may have been involved. The affected payment card information may have included names, addresses, payment card numbers, expiration dates, and security codes.
