These sex toy shoppers are f—ked.
X-rated accessories maker Tenga informed customers earlier this month of a data breach that likely included their names, email addresses and past order details, TechCrunch has reported.

A spokesperson for the Japanese company, which predominantly carries toys designed for men, told TechCrunch that “approximately 600 people” in the US were targeted.
Alongside customers’ personal details and correspondence with the company, the cybercrook reportedly also sent spam emails to customers via the hacked employee’s email address. They asked customers to be vigilant and ignore any suspicious emails coming from that company contact.
