Parent company WH Smith said in a statement: “We take the security of visitors’ knowledge very seriously.
“The company temporarily suspended orders from the company and lately is investigating the main points of the incident with external IT specialists.
“No knowledge of the visitor’s payment has been put in place, such as bank account or credit card details; all this knowledge is processed securely through reputable third parties and securely encrypted. “
He added: “We would like to sincerely apologize to our consumers for any consideration or disruption this may cause, and assure them that our groups are working 24 hours a day to investigate this incident.
“As our investigation progresses, we will provide additional updates to consumers and other relevant parties as needed. “
Funky Pigeon says he has informed regulators and the law enforcement government about the violation of protection.

The Works is listed online and at more than 500 retail outlets in the UK and Ireland.
