The Children’s Place Retail Stores Inc. says its customer email address database was recently accessed by an unauthorized third party. The New Jersey-based children’s specialty apparel retailer said the hacker sent out an unauthorized email that attempts to phish sensitive information from customers. The database is stored at an external email service provider, according to company officials. The external service provider confirmed that only email addresses were accessed and no other personal information was obtained. The notice comes just weeks after email provider Epsilon Interactive told clients they had experienced a major security breach.”]
