Kylie Jenner's make-up company apologizes to customers for Shopify's data breach

Kylie Jenners make-up company has notified users of a security breach that mightve compromised their data, including names, addresses, and the last four digits of their credit cards.

In fact, Shopify has clarified the breach stems from two rogue employees from its support team, who nipped customer data from over 100 sellers on the platform.

Ironically, Kylie Cosmetics is already tempting customers to continue shopping from its Shopify-powered site, assuring them the issue has since been resolved.

Shopify has assured us that they have implemented additional controls designed to help prevent this type of incident from recurring in the future, the statement continued.
