Groupon, a leading daily deals store which entered into the Indian markets via acquisition of Kolkata based local deals shop SoSasta.com, suffered a “security issue” on their systems. The break-in happened over the weekend and it is highly likely that all usernames and passwords were stolen.

Communicating via an email that was sent to subscribers, SoSasta.com Customer Care informed the subscribers about a security incident that happened over the weekend. While the email doesn’t mention what was the exact extent of damage, they do mention that none of financial information – such as Credit/Debit Card numbers or NetBanking details have been compromised. In addition, they also recommend changing of passwords as a precautionary measure.
