Full breach record for Lime Crime, Inc.

Lime Crime, Inc. disclosed that unauthorized individuals installed malicious software on its website server on October 4, 2014.

PayPal users had their usernames and passwords compromised but not financial data. Lime Crime took the website offline, replaced its e-commerce platform with a PCI-compliant one, reset passwords, and offered one year of identity protection services via Experian.
