French computer storage specialist LaCie has said credit card details and passwords of shoppers who used its site may have been stolen.
The hard-disk maker said the FBI had alerted it to "indications" of a hacker having used malware to copy details entered into its online store.
It added that the suspected breach was thought to have lasted from 27 March 2013 to 10 March this year.
Experts said it was unusual for such a problem to go unnoticed for so long.

It wold appear as the article suggests that LaCie will have egg on it's face.

Certainly Seagate will be left holding the bag (or the seasonally correct basket) on this one.
