Hackers access Bed Bath & Beyond customer data

For a shopper who was impacted, she should ensure she doesn’t use the same password for her Bed Bath & Beyond account elsewhere. In fact, not reusing passwords is one way consumers can protect themselves from fraud, says Mike Lloyd, chief technology officer from cyber security firm RedSeal Inc.

“It’s important to realize that if you use the same password at your bank as you use for less important services like social media or video streaming, then a bad guy only has to break into whichever company has the weakest security, then steal your passwords and use them everywhere else you go,” Lloyd says.
