Breach Database / Shoe Zone

Yes — Shoe Zone was breached.

What happened

In June 2024, the UK footwear chain Shoe Zone disclosed a data breach that was subsequently posted for sale on a popular hacking forum. The data included over 100k orders containing names, addresses, partial credit card numbers (card type and last 4 digits), and 46k unique email addresses.

What data was exposed

What to do right now

  1. Watch your card and bank statements. Set up transaction alerts, and consider a card freeze or replacement if the exposure included full card numbers.
  2. Watch for targeted phishing mail. A leaked home address makes postal and doorstep scams more convincing.
  3. Expect convincing phishing emails. Attackers use breached details to write personalized emails. Be suspicious of any message referencing this service.
  4. Check your other accounts on Have I Been Pwned. Your email address may appear in other breaches you don't know about yet.
  5. Monitor the apps you use going forward. Clearly watches the breach record for the companies behind your apps and alerts you the moment one appears.
