While looking into deals in my email box, I saw this one from Bluemercury – Subject: ‘Important Information Regarding Purchases Made on bluemercury website.’ It’s a data breach! Check your email!

It’s not good, but at least Bluemercury informed us. Data breach can happen to a lot of companies. They are the victims too.

Aptos has informed us that attackers had access to the following online data associated with orders made before September 12, 2016:

• First and last name,

• Address,

• Phone number,

• Email address, and

• Debit or credit card number with expiration dates.

What Can You Do?
To protect yourself from the possibility of financial fraud (that is, criminals using your card information to make fraudulent purchases), we recommend you immediately contact your credit or debit card company and inform them that your card information may have been compromised. Your bank or credit card provider will suggest appropriate steps to protect your account. As always, you should remain vigilant for incidents of fraud by reviewing your bank and card statements regularly, and immediately reporting any suspicious activity to your bank or credit card provider.  Payment card rules generally provide that cardholders are not responsible for unauthorized charges reported in a timely manner.

Update:

Here is reader Deanna’s experience of ordering her Space NK Spring Beauty Edit gift bag. Purchasing from the Space NK online store wins!

Just FYI so you or your readers know, I wound up ordering on Space NK’s Web site and cancelling the order I made in store over the phone. First, the recommended agent wasn’t there, so I got another SA that couldn’t have seemed less interested in my order. Of the four things I wanted to order, they didn’t have two so there were two substitutions. Since  one substitute was a tad more, my total came to $265. They mentioned an $8.95 shipping fee but made no mention of tax. It felt like ordering from a Chinese restaurant where you hang up and aren’t sure if they wrote down your address correctly, and you don’t get a dollar total, order number or any promise of shipping information. 

That night (About 2 pm late on Feb 13) I went to Space NK’s Web site. Everything I wanted was in stock (Sunday Riley Good Genes 1 oz, Sunday Riley UFO oil, Viseart Chroma Palette and Lipstick Queen’s Jean Queen) plus I found that in addition to the code for the 33-piece gift, I could enter five other coupon codes for additional freebies. There was no tax and no shipping. My total was right at $252, and by the time I got up the next day, my order had already shipped. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to get ahold of the store to cancel my other order before it shipped so I transferred some funds to make sure the additional payment would not clear. The total they tried to run on my card came to $283.69. (I did let them to know to cancel the order later in the day.) So that’s just my experience. Yes, I missed out on the $25 Bloomingdales gift card I would have earned with points, but instead I got five bonus gifts (Hey, that free brush alone is valued at $28 if you haven’t taken advantage of that code yet!) plus it would have been $30 more at Bloomingdales, negating any savings. (My base order at Bloomingdales was $13 more so I suppose after the additional $17 you pay the store, you’re really only coming out ahead by $8 when considering the $25 Bloomingdales credit.

Anyway, just my two cents. I generally just order at brand Web sites such as Tarte or Urban Decay, or Sephora for numerous brands, so I’d never done an order with Space NK where there was a big loot bag. Anyway, sorry that was so long winded. I find your blog super helpful and one I like to check daily so just thought I’d share my experience in case it makes it easier for others in the future. Thanks for posting about deals!
