Craftsman Book Company discovered unauthorized activity on May 27, 2014, stemming from a SQL injection attack that began on March 9, 2014.

No CVV or financial passwords were compromised. The company took the affected site offline, restricted inter-site access, patched SQL injection vulnerabilities, and improved log monitoring.
