Profile
Score, also known as SCORE, is an organisation headquartered in the United States of America. It operates a website that accepts customer payments for its products or services. The organisation’s primary market and scope are not detailed in the available sources.
On September 4 2014, Score experienced an unauthorized data breach that exposed customer payment information submitted through its website over a three‑month period. The compromised data included names, payment card account numbers, expiration dates, and internal account identifiers, while there was no evidence that addresses or card security codes were accessed. The breach was detected approximately seven weeks after it began, prompting an immediate internal investigation and the engagement of external IT specialists to secure the payment systems. Following the discovery, Score notified affected individuals, advising them to monitor their financial statements and offering resources for credit monitoring and fraud alerts through national credit bureaus and federal agencies.
Remediation efforts concentrated on restoring transactional security and rebuilding customer trust, although specific forensic findings were not disclosed publicly. The incident highlights the organisation’s reliance on online payment processing and its response to a significant data security event. No further details about Score’s size, ownership structure, or additional business activities are provided in the source material.
