Hackers Infiltrate Opening Ceremony’s Online Boutique, Compromise Security

Edgy, boundary-pushing boutique Opening Ceremony announced in a letter that "a hacker placed malicious software on our website." The letter — dated May 4 and signed by Carol Lim, CEO and co-founder of the company — says that the incident in question presumably took place on Feb. 16. While the company took security precautions and removed the questionable software after the breach was discovered on March 21, it was more than enough time for the criminals to extract customers' private information.
