Lidl Online Shop Customer Data Stolen in IT Security Incident

Lidl, the popular retail chain, announced on July 11, 2026, that it experienced a security incident involving an external IT service provider, resulting in the theft of customer data from its online shop. Unidentified attackers gained temporary access to a separate file containing customer information. The compromised data includes customers' titles, first and last names, phone numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, and customer numbers. Lidl has confirmed that passwords, billing and delivery addresses, bank details, or other payment information were not affected, and customer accounts remain secure. The company has stated that there is currently no concrete evidence of the stolen data being misused, but it has proactively warned affected customers about potential phishing attempts and identity theft. Lidl advises customers to be extra cautious with communications from unknown sources. The IT service provider involved has taken immediate steps to restore security, strengthen system protection, and has filed a criminal complaint. IT experts are also involved in the investigation to enhance future data protection. The Office for Personal Data Protection has been informed and is monitoring the case.
