Landmark Group investigates unauthorised access to Shukran loyalty member data
Dubai-based retailer Landmark Group says an unauthorised party accessed customer information held by its Shukran loyalty programme. The company says it contained the access, opened an investigation and informed the authorities. It has not said how many members are affected; members who received a text message from the company may be among them.
Confirmed
According to the company, the data accessed includes names, contact details and dates of birth. Payment card details are not stored on its systems and were not affected; points, balances and the app keep working normally.
What to do
- Shukran members: expect phishing calls, SMS, e-mails and WhatsApp messages that mention Landmark or its brands; do not share one-time codes (the company asks for them only in store or in the app).
- Organisations running loyalty programmes in the region: review who can query customer records and alert on bulk exports.
