Hardware retailer Newegg suffered a month-long data breach that exposed users’ credit card information to the same hackers who targeted British Airways and Ticketmaster UK earlier this year. The exact scope of the attack is still unknown as the company just discovered the breach yesterday and began taking action.

Newegg sees about 50 million monthly visitors and has a business valued at $2.65 billion. Threat management firm RiskIQ, which uncovered the breach alongside cybersecurity firm Volexity, says, “We can assume this attack claimed a massive number of victims,” although the numbers are still being investigated.
