In June 2026, a party claiming to have access to data from Goose Creek Candle Company sent emails to a number of the company's customers, claiming the company had a security vulnerability and suffered a data breach. The data was subsequently sent to Have I Been Pwned and contained 6.6M unique email addresses along with names, phone numbers, physical addresses, order IDs and total spent. The data appears to have been obtained from the company's Shopify instance. Goose Creek is aware of the reports but was unable to provide Have I Been Pwned with any further information at the time of publication.
