Pizza Lovers Suffer Data Breach From Hell

netbuzz writes "Some 230,000 New Zealanders have been informed that their personal information has apparently fallen into the hands of hackers who compromised the network of a locally famous food chain, Hell Pizza. The company says it suspects 'a rogue employee,' but one security expert says Hell's ordering portal is 'about 50 steps of fail.' Several New Zealand celebrities are among the victims and at least one is taking the matter in stride, musing: 'My Twitter has been hacked, my Facebook has been hacked and I'm pretty sure half of New Zealand has my phone number already. I have nothing bad to say about Hell.'"

  1. So Hell Pizza requires Facebook/Twitter UID? by The+Pirou · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Or is the anonymous celeb indicating that he uses the same u/p for every single website he visits? Were that the case, it'd be interesting to see what other websites he/she has signed up for that haven't been compromised. I've heard you can't teach an old dog new tricks...

    Its actually a really nice place. Without a doubt the best place I have been outside Australia.

    So you've just been there and Australia then?

    I live in Australia but I have been to NZ on holiday.
