Omeganet

Omeganet operates as a third‑party web host that provides hosting infrastructure for external clients. Its services include storing and serving website content for businesses that outsource their online presence. One of its known customers is Dennis East International, a retailer that relied on Omeganet to host its e‑commerce site. Through this hosting relationship, Omeganet handled the transmission and storage of customer data entered on the retailer’s site. The company’s role therefore involves managing web servers that can process personal and payment information. In May 2014, Omeganet experienced two security incidents that affected the data of its hosted clients.

The first incident involved phishing emails aimed at capturing customer credit‑card details, while the second was a system breach that exposed user IDs, credit‑card numbers, names, email addresses, billing and shipping addresses, and telephone numbers. Affected individuals were advised to contact their card issuers and remain vigilant, but Omeganet did not offer credit‑monitoring services as part of its response. These events highlight that Omeganet’s hosting environment processes sensitive financial and personal data for the retailers it serves. The breach underscored the security responsibilities associated with third‑party web hosting for e‑commerce platforms. No further details about Omeganet’s size, ownership, or broader market footprint are provided in the available source material.
