The South African branch of Hetzner, a well-known web hosting provider, has suffered its second security breach in the past year, ZDNet has learned from the company's customers.

The company said the attacker managed to gain access to customer details such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, identity numbers, VAT numbers, and bank account numbers.

While no highly sensitive details were exposed, according to the company, Hetzner did urge users to keep an eye out for phishing scams.

This incident marks the second breach Hetzner online disclosed in the past 12 months. The first hack took place last year in November 2017. [...] Details about the first hack are available on the company's blog.
[...] Hetzner South Africa has been heavily criticized online this week for this latest security breach, and especially for its notification email, which tried to play down the incident in the first two sentences.
