  • Tenga notified customers of a data breach involving unauthorized access to an employee's email account.
  • Hacker potentially accessed customer names, email addresses, and historical email correspondence, including order details and customer service inquiries.
  • Spam emails were sent to the hacked employee's contacts, including customers.
  • Tenga did not disclose the total number of affected customers but has shipped over 162 million products worldwide.
  • The breach may have exposed intimate customer information due to the nature of Tenga's products.
  • Tenga recommended customers change passwords and be vigilant of suspicious emails, though passwords were not confirmed as compromised.
  • Post-breach measures included resetting the hacked employee's credentials and enabling multi-factor authentication.
  • It is unclear if multi-factor authentication was in place prior to the breach.
  • Tenga, founded in 2005 and headquartered in Tokyo, sells sex toys primarily for men.
  • The breach's impact on non-U.S. customers is unclear as the notification came from Tenga Store USA.
  • Tenga joins other sex toy makers and adult websites that have experienced data breaches in recent years.
