Matty Fans,

You may have heard that Digital River had a data breach and are wondering if you’re affected. The good news is that no Mattel customer data was involved. Here’s what they said:

“There have been some questions about recent news regarding one of Digital River's affiliate businesses, Direct Response Technologies. Because Digital River is part of an on-going legal investigation related to this matter, it is limited on the information it can share. The company has actively involved federal law enforcement and is taking the appropriate actions to reach a resolution.

In the meantime, we want to assure you that no Mattel data was involved. The data in question was limited to Direct Response Technologies’ DirectTrack affiliate business and some business contact information related to certain affiliate marketers. The data did not include financial or consumer data – no credit card or other payment data was involved.”

Hope that helps.
