Indigo a No Go Online

Online purchases have been temporarily suspended at Indigo Book Stores due to a security breach on February 8th, 2023.

Customers have received emails from this retailer re-assuring them that credit and debit card information was not likely accessed during the breach and other customer data appears to not have been compromised either. But the retailer has taken their online orders offline until further notice.

In store purchases are unaffected and customers should be able to use the site to browse but it appears that they will be unable to check a product’s availability at the stores online.

The Indigo app is also offline and any Plum points expiring in February will have their expiry date extended to March 31st, 2023.
