[To our beloved and valued members,

We're so sorry to hear about the data breach that affected our customers. We know how distressing it can be to realize that your personal information has been compromised, and we want you to know that we're taking this matter very seriously.

The breach came about because of an attack on our systems by hackers, which resulted in some customer data being lost. This may include your name, email address, and phone number – but no financial information was compromised (such as credit card numbers).

We understand that this news is upsetting for you, but please know that we're doing everything possible to protect you from future cyberattacks like this one. We are working with the government and police to investigate the incident, and they are also helping us implement new security measures that will prevent future attacks from happening.

In addition to these efforts, we will be sending out emails to all affected customers over the next few days with more information about what happened and what steps you can take now to protect yourself going forward (including changing your passwords).

Take care, and thank you for bearing with us while we navigate this.

 

Arohanui,

The Trade Me Team 💙💛]
