Fans React To Pro Wrestling Tees’ Data Breach

On November 1, 2021, Pro Wrestling Tees was the victim of a security breach. After a month now, they are addressing the cyber threat. They released an official public statement discussing the data breach. Pro Wrestling Tees found themselves trending, and not for the best reason.

The popular t-shirt company was alerted that a minor portion of their credit card numbers was compromised from their database. It happened during a security breach from a malware virus. However, they insist that no evidence exists that individual personal information was compromised.

“The privacy and protection of our clients’ personal information is a matter that we take very seriously. Please allow this to serve as a notification to you concerning a recent data incident at Pro Wrestling Tees that involved some of your personal information. While we are unaware of any current misuse of your information, we want to provide you with details regarding the incident, our response, and resources available to you to safeguard your identity from possible misuse.”

The company hired a sophisticated forensic vendor to remove the malware virus from their system. They took steps to address the incident promptly after it was discovered. They also reviewed their internal data management and protocols and have implemented enhanced security measures to help prevent this type of incident from recurring.

In addition, they are offering identity theft protection services through IDX, the data breach and recovery services expert. IDX identity protection services include: 12 months of credit and CyberScan monitoring, a $1,000,000 insurance reimbursement policy, and fully managed ID theft recovery services. With this protection, IDX will help anyone resolve issues if their identity is compromised.

Fans took to Twitter where they voiced their concern and opinion. A few were a bit worried, but others just wanted to throw out a one-liner joke You can check out an assortment of those reactions below.

Real glad I've never bought anything from @PWTees
If you did & got scam charges, now you know why.

Got a letter today from Pro Wrestling Tees that they suffered a data breach in early November. https://t.co/kBClXT54wh via @reddit

So apparently @PWTees had a data breach. Took their sweet time notifying me about it, sending physical mail instead of an email notice. 🙄

Things like this are why I have email notices enabled on my bank account.

pwtees had a fucking data breach and instead of contacting people about it in a timely manner, they went to an aew show, sat in front row, and talked shit about the smaller wrestling clothing companies that seem to actually provide good service. go fuck yourselves

HEY, IF YOU’VE EVER SHOPPED AT @PWTees @OneHourTees OR @ShopAEW THIS IS IMPORTANT.

They had a data breach on Nov 1st that included CARD INFO and are for some reason are only sending people snail mail letters about it?? Seems an awful lot like they’re trying to keep it quiet. 🤔 https://t.co/Xh0xuMIo8o

Apparently the letter says data MAY have been breached, but if you check out the thread, IMO there’s now more than enough evidence of people having fraud on their cards shortly after buying from them.

PWTees had a breach and it took them a month and a half to tell people? Isn’t that the kinda thing you’d email your customers like that afternoon or so?

Everyone @PWTees had a data breach. They sent out letters to notify. Check your statements and if you have the letter they give you services to help. https://t.co/HN8XNsbTek

hey friends who have ordered from pwtees with a credit card, keep a close eye on your statements, as your CC info may have been exposed as part of a data breach.

She said that WWE also sued her for breach of Owen’s contract. Because of his death, he was unable to finish out his contract. Could you blame her? I feel very bad that I was one of those people who said she needed to get a grip. I 100% don’t blame her in her stance!
