Sears Holdings Management Corporation notified customers that a vendor providing online support services for Sears.com and Kmart.com experienced a security incident.

Sears was informed of the incident in mid-March 2018. Payment card companies were notified, and an investigation was conducted. No evidence suggests Sears' internal systems were accessed.
