Tokmanni, a Finnish retail chain, is currently investigating a potential breach involving its customers' personal data. According to communication manager Maarit Mikkonen, there have been reports suggesting that customer information may have been shared on a particular online forum. Mikkonen stated that it seems probable that some data has indeed fallen into the wrong hands, emphasizing the importance of understanding the situation thoroughly.

The initial clues about the data breach have come from an anonymous tip indicating that the information in question could be circulating on the messaging platform Telegram. However, Mikkonen was unable to confirm these claims at this stage in the investigation. The most concerning aspect is that the data may have been accessed from an infected personal computer belonging to one of Tokmanni's customers, meaning it was not a direct hack of the company's systems, but rather a compromise of personal data.

As the investigation progresses, Tokmanni has not yet disclosed what specific information may have been compromised or how many customers are at risk. The company is working diligently to verify the extent of the situation and to ensure that any affected customers are informed. Mikkonen stressed that safeguarding customer information is a top priority and that they are taking all necessary steps to address any potential risks arising from this incident.
