DALLAS (1080 KRLD) - Dallas-based department store Neiman Marcus has reached a settlement over a 2013 data breach.
The breach exposed customer credit card data at 77 Neiman Marcus stores nationwide. Over a three-month period in 2013, about 370,000 Neiman Marcus credit cards were accessed by unknown third parties unlawfully, and at least 9,200 were used fraudulently.
The retailer has reached a settlement with the State of Texas, 42 other states and the District of Columbia that will cost the company $1.5 million.
As part of the deal, Neiman Marcus agrees to take steps to protect customers' data and to get an information security assessment from an outside expert.
