When Chris Eggers and his wife signed up for an in-store text message promotion at a Toronto Shoppers Drug Mart, they thought they’d collect extra PC Optimum points. Instead, Eggers alleges, hackers stole them all. “Every week, [PC Optimum] would text me, ‘See if you’re a winner and click on the link!'” he explained. “One of the links I clicked, and I still have the text, asked me to enter my PC optimum information.” So, Eggers, 37, entered the couple’s log-in details. “I believe it is at that point that my identity was compromised,” he told CBC Toronto.
