The Nook library issue seems to be fixed now, and we have confirmed reports that people can now view their library purchases again and read ebooks. I would recommend to change your passwords ASAP on your account and if you use the same login/password on other sites. Hackers could look at a customers email address that was stolen from the B&N system, and try logging in with known passwords associated with that address, they login successfully, they can easily view all of this information on your B&N account and start using your credit card for fraud. This is because most people use the same logins and passwords on multiple sites and most of this data is in the dark web, due to previous security breaches by most companies you do business with online. Many people have already come forward and told Good e-Reader that unrecognized charges have appeared on their credit cards. Transaction history, meaning purchase information related to the books and other products that you have bought from the bookseller, were also stolen. Emails, shipping address, billing address and phone numbers were attained by the hackers. There has been no compromise to credit cards or other financial data, as they are encrypted. They have said that they were the victim of a cyber attack, which resulted in unlawful access to the corporate systems. Reditt claimed that there was a security breach with a Ransomware attack that came from the corporate headquarters in New York and filtered its way through the entire systemīarnes and Noble has just issued a statement. On Friday, Good e-Reader was the first media outlet to report how there were syncing problems with the Nook e-readers and the Nook app, and the entire cloud system appeared to be down.
The Nook system continues to be down, but it looks like we now know why all of this has occurred. Cash registers experienced an outage, and were lagging for almost a week. The B&N website was down for awhile, and people couldn’t even log into their accounts. Many people thought this was just a problem with their device and decided conduct a factory reset, which made their entire libraries disappear. People were unable to sync recent purchases to their e-readers, or read most books on their device. Barnes and Noble experienced an outage last week, that affected their cloud unit and the entire Nook system.
