The impacted data included 190k email addresses and associated phone numbers which were subsequently shared on a popular hacking forum.

This data also included names, physical addresses, orders and PBKDF2 password hashes. Exposed data: email addresses, names, passwords, phone numbers, physical addresses, purchases. The breach dates from Jul 6, 2024; Have I Been Pwned loaded it on Aug 2, 2024.
What to do
- If you had a LuLu account, change its password and the password of any other account that reused it.
- Turn on multi-factor authentication wherever it is offered.
- Check whether your addresses are in this breach at https://haveibeenpwned.com.
- Expect targeted phishing that quotes the leaked details; verify any unexpected contact out of band.
