A group of hackers going with the handle of Rex Mundi breached into the database of Domino�s Pizza websites in France and Belgium and ending up with access to more than 592,000 records of French customers and 58,000 records of Belgians.
Hackers announced the news by using Twitter, and it seems that the reason behind this breach was money extortion, as according to one of the tweet hackers demanded 30,000 EUR ($40,619) from Domino�s Pizza France against keeping the information secret.

One tweet shows a file on dpaste.de, containing stolen information such as names, phone numbers, delivery addresses, email addresses and passwords. However, at the time of writing this article; the paste data was removed.
Reacting to the breach, Domino�s Pizza said that credit card data has not been stolen but considering the other stolen data; hackers might be able to conduct phishing attacks on customers in order to get hold of their financial details.
This is not the first time when Domino�s Pizza was hacked, putting its customer details in danger. In September 10, 2012 Turkish hackers hacked into the official website of�Domino pizza�s�India website and leaked over 37,000 usernames and passwords.
