Although not exactly saying how many people have been affected by the attack, Mizuno shared the type of stolen information: the names of the people, the social security numbers, the information on the financial accounts, the information on the license to drive and passport numbers.
In response, Mizuno USA will offer one year of free identity credit and protection services to affected people, and urged them to closely monitor their financial accounts for signs of fraud.
