Consumers accused GameStop of leaking customer info to other shoppers as Black Friday kicked off. But, after the word got around that GameStop had a security breach, the retailer is denying all allegations. Apparently, none of the info anyone saw was real and it was all just part of a test.
According to VGC, the Customer Care team of GameStop has responded to the incident. In the statement, GameStop claims it fixed the issue "the same day it took place". More importantly, it says the test data was "not actual customer data."
However, upon further investigation by owner and editor at VGC, Andy Robinson, he found otherwise, saying: Dozens of images of emails, addresses and phone numbers that clearly belong to real people. Credit card numbers are partially redacted. GameStop's denial can be used against it in the future.
