The Mozilla Foundation (http://www.mozilla.org/) (http://www.mozilla.org/)has shut its e-commerce store after a security breach at GatewayCDI, the third-party vendor that handles the store’s backend operations.
The open-source groups said it has asked Gateway CDI to quickly notify individuals who had their sensitive data compromised. Mozilla did not elaborate on the extent of compromised customer data.
Mozilla said it found out about the breach (http://blog.mozilla.com/blog/2009/08/04/mozilla-store-vendor-security-breach/) on Monday (August 4, 2009) and took the immediate preventative step of shutting down the Mozilla Store to ensure that no additional users could be compromised. GatewayCDI is currently investigating their systems and determining the cause and extent of the breach.
The Mozilla Store is currently displaying a “closed for maintenance (http://store.mozilla.org/)” notice.
