The Mozilla Foundation has shuttered its e-commerce store after confirming a security breach at GatewayCDI, the third-party vendor that handles the store’s backend operations.

The open-source groups said it has asked Gateway CDI to quickly notify individuals who had their sensitive data compromised. Mozilla did not elaborate on the extent of compromised customer data.

Mozilla said it found out about the breach on Monday (August 4, 2009) and took the immediate preventative step of shutting down the Mozilla Store to ensure that no additional users could be compromised.
