Weee! grocery store data breach overview:
- Who: Asian and Hispanic grocery store Weee! confirmed a data breach that exposed the private information of 1.1 million of its customers.

- Where: Consumers nationwide use Weee!
Weee!, an Asian and Hispanic grocery store and delivery service, confirmed it suffered a data breach that exposed the information of 1.1 million of its customers.
A threat actor named IntelBroker posted the stolen data on the Breached hacking and data breach forum, Bleeping Computer reports.
While IntelBroker reportedly wrote IntelBroker stole a database of 11 million customers, Troy Hunt of the Have I Been Pwned data breach notification service tells Bleeping Computer the database only contained 1.1 million unique email addresses.
Information exposed in the Weee! data breach includes customers’ full names, phone numbers, email addresses, order notes and device types, along with other data, Bleeping Computer reports.
Weee! reportedly says that none of its customers’ payment information was stolen during the data breach, noting that the company does not retain that data.
Weee! data breach impacts customers who placed orders from between July 12, 2021, and July 12, 2022
The Weee! data breach specifically impacted customers who placed an order with the company between July 12, 2021, and July 12, 2022, according to a statement Weee! provided to Bleeping Computer.
Weee! reportedly says it has already notified its customers about the incident and will directly notify any customer whose information was exposed during the data breach.
Customers who want to find out if their information was exposed in the Weee! grocery store data breach can search for their email addresses on Have I Been Pwned once the data breach notification service adds the data.
In other recent data breach news, a consumer filed a class action lawsuit against Rackspace Technology Inc. earlier this month, arguing that a December 2022 data breach was caused by the company’s own negligence.

Please add me. I have been trying to file legal action against this company —but was NOT successful.
I checked on Have I Been Pwned site and I am affected by this data breach. Help.
I am one of the victims. They spammed my phone every day. They called and always asked “do you speak Chinese”. They also texted me in Chinese. Very annoying. Keep getting these!
How can I help? I am really pissed at Weee.
