Online purchases are increasingly in vogue, and although it is no longer necessary to bother to leave home to move to the store, which is certain is that this way of shopping also has its negative consequences. For example, Wacom, Japanese manufacturer recognized by graphic tablets widely used by designers and illustrators, revealed that its online store has been the target of a computer attack and customer bank accounts are at risk.
Customers who made purchases between November 2024 and January 2025 are at risk
It states that the company warned that customer payment information may have been compromised, endangering their bank accounts. For now, it is known that computer pirates may have accessed data from users who made purchases on the platform between November 28, 2024 and January 8, 2025.
If you have been purchased on this online store, you should watch your bank account and check if there is any suspicious movement in your bank account and credit cards. Another safety measure to be taken by changing your WACOM account passwords and other associated services.
Wacom also asks all customers to remain alert to possible phishing blows, as some computer pirates can try to contact them to pass the Japanese manufacturer.
“We are working to get all the details”
It should be noted that the company has not yet disclosed the size of the computer attack, although it has assured customers that it is taking steps to reinforce the security of its systems and to protect their data from them.
Speaking to a website linked to the technology industry, Wacom revealed to be “investigating the subject,” adding that “we are working to get all the details and contact customers only that can be potentially affected.”
This means that, for now, the best thing to do is to control the movements of your bank account and, if you have purchased in this store between November 28, 2024 and January 8, 2025, you should wait for the brand contact .
