The NetGalley book promotion site has suffered a data breach that allowed threat actors to access a database with members’ personal information. The site allows authors and publishers to promote digital review copies of their books (galleys) to book advocates, influential readers, and industry professionals in hopes that they will recommend the books to their audience. Users should immediately log in to the site and change their password when they next log in. There was no financial information stored in the database, and users’ email address, birthday, company name, and Kindle email address.
