Rite Aid says breach exposes sensitive details of 2.2 million customers

Rite Aid, the third largest US drug store chain, has announced a data breach affecting over 2.2 million customers. The breach, which occurred between June 2017 and July 2018, resulted in the theft of personal information such as driver's license numbers, addresses, and dates of birth. The stolen data was linked to purchases or attempted purchases of retail products. Rite Aid detected the incident within 12 hours and launched an investigation, though no social security numbers, financial information, or patient data were compromised. Ransomware group RansomHub has claimed responsibility for the attack. This incident follows a previous data breach in 2023 that affected over 24,000 customers.
