IKEA Canada confirms privacy breach impacting 95,000 customers

IKEA Canada is investigating an internal data breach that has affected tens of thousands of Canadian customers.

One of those impacted, Calgarian Arthur Gallant, said he received an email from the retailer last week, advising him his personal information had been breached.

“I was stunned, I was shocked, I was speechless,” he said.

Ikea confirmed the email and the privacy breach to Global News and said the furniture company acted quickly to prevent the data from being used, stored, or shared with any third parties. It also confirmed no financial or banking information was accessed.
