Clothing re-seller Poshmark announced in a note to customers it has experienced a data breach that resulted in outsiders making off with some of their personal information. The company sent an email to customers Friday alerting them to a security incident in which an “unauthorized third party” accessed customers’ usernames, first and last names, gender and city.

A gang of payment-card scammers has targeted 201 college and university campus stores, trying to steal students’ financial data in a Magecart-style attack, according to new research. The new cybercrime group, labeled Mirrorthief, injected malicious code on payment checkout pages at hundreds of U.S. and Canadian stores, according to TrendMicro research published Friday.
