A threat actor has listed an 84MB-strong dataset for sale that allegedly belongs to the multinational sportswear manufacturer.

The cybercriminal or criminals behind the dataset listing claim that it is from Puma’s Chilean e-commerce website, although at the time of writing Cybernews was unable to independently verify this.

The leaked database included customers' names and contact information, such as emails, telephone numbers, and billing and shipping addresses. It also contained details about their purchases – order numbers, payment methods, total monies paid, shipping costs, and discounts.

Puma’s representatives told Cybernews that the company was “currently investigating a data leak at its Chilean e-commerce site to establish what data has been leaked and how this could have occurred.”
