GameStop reportedly leaked customers’ personal info during Black Friday shopping

Video game retailer GameStop has reportedly leaked the personal information of its customers, including phone numbers and billing addresses.

Over the Black Friday weekend, many people took to Reddit and Twitter to report that GameStop’s website had briefly displayed the sensitive details when refreshing their order pages.

“Every time I refresh the website, I can see someone else’s name, phone number, address, order history… it’s like a cycle of 4 or 5 people,” wrote one Reddit user. “Same. I’m seeing other people’s orders except mine,” replied another. A Twitter user also shared redacted screenshots of the screens they were getting:

One Reddit user even said their friend “was able to view a full credit card number by clicking on a card, but the site reloaded quickly after that.”

In a statement to VGC, GameStop said this “was test data created by our teams, not actual customer data” and “immediately fixed the same day it took place.” However, several people have since reached out to VGC‘s Andy Robinson to say the information they were shown was indeed real.

As it stands, it’s unclear how widespread these incidents have been, including whether they extend to Canada. MobileSyrup has reached out to GameStop Canada for comment and will update this story should a response be received.

In the meantime, though, it’s probably worth keeping in mind if you shopped online at GameStop in Canada this weekend. It should also be noted that GameStop did actually experience a similar issue last year in Canada. The retailer, still named EB Games at the time, displayed customer information when some people tried to purchase a PS5 online. Despite several reports made directly to the retailer’s social media handles, the company never publicly addressed the incidents.

Did you shop online at GameStop in Canada for Black Friday and ran into this issue? Let us know in the comments.

Canada’s Seth Rogen to star in ‘Dumb Money,’ an adaptation of GameStop stock disaster

Remember when internet trolls coordinated a massive disruption of Wall Street? The story of the infamous GameStop stock incident is being adapted for the big screen. Dumb Money is a film set to star Canadian actor Seth Rogen as well as Paul Dano, Sebastian Stan, and Pete Davidson.

Dumb Money is an adaptation of Ben Mezrich’s book The Antisocial Network. The story recounts the GameStop “short squeeze” that occurred in January 2021. Internet trolls of r/wallstreetbets were able to squeeze two hedge funds betting that declining stock would further plummet. Through a bit of internet comradery, amateur investors were able to buy shares and stock options. This led to the market skyrocketing by 1,700 percent, gaining a market value of over $10 billion.

Currently, there’s no word on who the ensemble cast portrays in the film.

The film is being fully financed by Santa Monica-based company Black Bear Pictures and is being distributed by the company in international markets. During Toronto Internation Film Festival, Black Bear Pictures is launching its sales on Dumb Money.

Dumb Money is being directed by Craig Gillespie, known for directing I, Tonya. Rebecca Angelo & Lauren Schuker Blum are serving as writers with Teddy Schwarzman from Black Bear and Gillespie producing.

“Black Bear has diamond hands for Dumb Money,” Schwarzman said. “Lauren & Rebecca have masterfully adapted Ben Mezrich’s exceptional book detailing one of the greatest underdog stories of our time.”

Principal production on the film is expected to begin in October.
