What happened
VacPartsWarehouse.com LLC d/b/a PartsWarehouse.com, a Texas-based online retailer, discovered unauthorized access to its e-commerce payment platform. According to notices filed with the Maine and California Attorneys General, an unauthorized actor gained access to the company's online shopping system and captured payment data from transactions processed between October 31 and December 12, 2025. The company did not detect the activity until April 22, 2026, more than four months after the breach window closed.
VacPartsWarehouse.com completed its forensic review on April 22, 2026, and mailed written notifications to affected customers on May 20, 2026, approximately 28 days after discovery. The company did not offer complimentary credit monitoring services but advised customers to monitor account statements and report unauthorized charges. Payment card data may have been involved, including cardholder name, mailing address, card number, expiration date, and card verification code (CVC/CVV). The total number of affected individuals has not been publicly disclosed.
Payment card breaches of this type carry a risk of fraudulent charges, new-account fraud, and identity theft. Affected customers are encouraged to monitor statements closely, place a fraud alert or security freeze with the major credit bureaus, and contact a data breach attorney to understand their legal options.
