Frank J. Martin Company

Frank J. Martin Company operates under that alias and is headquartered in the United States of America. The organisation runs an e‑commerce site named Padlocks4Less. Padlocks4Less offers padlocks and related security hardware for sale to consumers. On August 26, 2015, the Padlocks4Less website experienced an unauthorized access incident. The breach exposed customers’ personal information, including names, mailing addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses. Payment card data associated with accounts on the site was also potentially compromised. In response, Frank J. Martin Company immediately took the Padlocks4Less website offline.

The company subsequently implemented enhanced security measures across its systems. Potentially affected individuals were notified about the exposure and advised on protective actions. An FBI investigation was launched to determine the scope and timing of the breach. The investigation established the specific timeframe during which the unauthorized access occurred. At the time of public disclosure, no confirmed cases of fraud linked to the compromised data had been reported. Details of the incident were reported by security industry media, including SC Magazine. Frank J. Martin Company continues to operate the Padlocks4Less platform.
