Framework, maker of deliberately repairable and upgradeable computers, has notified all of its customers that their data was exposed in a breach.
According to an email the company sent late Thursday, August 6, customer names, login IPs, addresses, phone numbers and emails were accessed during a hack of the company's business database provider Metabase.
According to a blog on Metabase's own website, someone used an "unknown (0-day) vulnerability" to access data, which Metabase has now identified and patched.
The company says it's also "reviewing and improving [its] methodology for data storage in external database vendors."
A data breach couldn't have come at a worse time for Framework.
