The breach compromised 3.7 million accounts containing email addresses, names, passwords, phone numbers and partial credit card numbers.
The scheduling platform said its Amazon Web Services<\/a> (AWS) servers were compromised in December.
The company, however, said that hackers failed to get \"any credit card or other payment card information\".
FlexBooker sent a data breach<\/a> notification to customers, confirming the attack and that the intruders \"accessed and downloaded\" data on the service's Amazon<\/a> cloud storage<\/a> system, reports Bleepingcomputer.
FlexBooker has apologised for the data breach. It also admitted that its system data storage was accessed and downloaded.
\"We sent a notification to all affected parties and have worked with Amazon Web Services, our hosting provider, to ensure that our accounts are re-secured. We deeply apologise for the inconvenience caused by this issue,\" the company said in a statement.
Among FlexBooker's customers are owners of businesses that need to schedule appointments -- from accountants, barbers, doctors, mechanics, lawyers, dentists, gyms, salons, therapists, trainers, spas, and more.
\"Claiming the attack seems to be a group calling themselves Uawrongteam, who shared links to archives and files with sensitive information, such as photos, driver's licenses, and other IDs,\" said the report.
