Two Usenet providers blame data breaches on partner company

Remember Usenet?

Two companies that provide Usenet services have disclosed security breaches today. The two companies, UseNeXT and Usenet.nl, blamed the breaches on "a security vulnerability at a partner company."

Neither UseNeXT nor Usenet.nl have named the third-party company whose software enabled the intrusion. It is unclear if this is referring to a Usenet desktop client or a server-side service.

Both Usenet providers have now shut down their websites to investigate the breach.

According to a near-identical message posted on both sites [1, 2], the two companies say the intruder gained access to information such as names, billing addresses, payment details (IBAN and account number), and other information users provided during the process of creating an account on the two websites.
