Safe and Vault Store

Safe and Vault Store operates as an online retailer specializing in the sale of physical safes and vaults. The company’s core product line includes a variety of security storage solutions designed for both personal and commercial use. Customers access the catalogue through the firm’s eCommerce website, where they can browse, select, and purchase items. The business serves markets primarily within the United States, reflecting its headquarters location. By focusing on tangible security equipment, the organisation differentiates itself from providers of digital or software‑based security products. Its operational model relies on an online storefront to reach a broad customer base without maintaining extensive physical retail locations.

In April 2015, Safe and Vault Store experienced a cybersecurity breach when attackers injected malicious code into its Magento‑based eCommerce platform. The intrusion exploited a known critical vulnerability in the outdated Magento software version then in use. As a result, customer order details such as names, addresses, payment card numbers, security codes, expiration dates, phone numbers, and email addresses were compromised. Upon discovery, the company removed the malicious code, applied the necessary security patches to Magento, and conducted a review of its security policies to prevent similar incidents. To assist affected individuals, Safe and Vault Store offered complimentary identity protection services for a period of one year. The incident highlighted the importance of keeping eCommerce platforms up to date as a key aspect of the organisation’s overall security posture.
