Order information for customers of some Signet brands may have been exposed in a leak, KrebsOnSecurity reports.
A customer reported the security weakness to the security-focused publication. The customer, Brandon Sheehy of Dallas, “discovered that slightly modifying the link in the confirmation email he received and pasting that into a Web browser revealed another customer’s order.” That included a variety of personal information, including name, address and last four digits of credit card.
“My first thought was they could track a package of jewelry to someone’s door and swipe it off their doorstep,” Sheehy told KrebsOnSecurity. A variety of other scams might be possible with the information, he surmised.
Sheehy said he contacted Signet, whose brands include Jared, Kay and Zales, about the problem. It was then apparently fixed for all orders going forward, but not for past orders.
Scott Lancaster, chief information security officer or Signet, said the problem has now been fixed for past orders as well.
The issue “affected only orders made online through jared.com and kay.com” and not the company’s other brands, KrebsOnSecurity reports.

Ready to Relocate? Wilkerson Makes Your Move Seamless
When Brockhaus Jewelry decided to leave their longtime West Main Street storefront for a standalone building elsewhere in Norman, Oklahoma, owners John Brockhaus and Brad Shipman faced a familiar challenge: how to efficiently reduce inventory before the big move. Their solution? Partnering with liquidation specialists Wilkerson for a second time.
"We'd already experienced Wilkerson's professionalism during a previous sale," Shipman recalls. "But their approach to our relocation event truly impressed us. They strategically prioritized our existing pieces while tactfully introducing complementary merchandise as inventory levels decreased." The carefully orchestrated sale didn't just meet targets—it shattered them.
Asked if they'd endorse Wilkerson to industry colleagues planning similar transitions—whether relocating, retiring, or refreshing their space—both partners were emphatic in their approval. "The entire process was remarkably straightforward," Shipman notes. "Wilkerson delivered a well-structured program, paired us with a knowledgeable advisor, and managed every detail flawlessly from concept to completion."
