Macromill: intrusion into its monitor site exposed data of 317 panelists, bank details for 82

Macromill, Inc. said on 12 November that an outsider accessed part of the system behind its Macromill monitor site for survey panelists. It found the intrusion on 29 October and stopped point exchange at once. The investigation found traces that the basic data and registered profile data of 317 panelists were viewed from outside, including the payout bank account details of 82. [1] [2]

Some accounts saw attempts to change the registered email or exchange points, but no exchange or money loss has been confirmed. The company holds no card data or PINs, and no access to other panelists’ data was found. Separately, the outside email service it uses for notices and verification was stopped by an attack on 31 October, and the missing emails also keep point exchange stopped. It sent first reports to the Personal Information Protection Commission and the Privacy Mark body. [1] [2]
