Why it matters

If confirmed, it exposes nearly two decades of customer personal data, including 850,254 MD5 password hashes. That feeds email and phone scams, purchase fraud and misuse of delivery details, affecting anyone who bought from the store.

What to do

Change now the password used at the store and anywhere it was reused. Watch for emails and calls that cite old orders. Wait for an official statement from Caverne des Jouets before treating the leak as confirmed.
