Hacker attack incident

1. In June 2014, Catch of the Day, Australia's most famous group buying website, announced that it had been hacked and some of its users' passwords and credit card data had been stolen. But shockingly, the hacking occurred more than three years ago, and Catch of the Day only disclosed the incident now.

2. It is understood that in the emails sent by Catch of the Day to users with the subject "Important Notice", consumers were not informed of the theft of their information in the first place. The company notified the relevant users immediately after the data leak, while other users were kept in the dark. A statement from Catch of the Day pointed out that only consumers who joined before May 7, 2011 were affected, and other websites covered by the Catch of the Day network, including Mumgo, Vino Mofo and Grocery Run, were not affected. It also stated that relevant actions have been taken and the authorities have been notified.

3. AFP claims it has not received any complaints about Catch of the Day website: After the AFP denied receiving any complaints about the website, the statement was considered misleading. "AFP records do not show that any complaints were received about the website Catch of the Day in 2011," said an AFP spokesperson.
