[jamescv7]

German software developer Ashampoo has notified its customers about a data breach incident that resulted in the exposure of their names and email addresses.

According to an announcement posted on the company's website, unidentified hackers broke through its security systems and gained unauthorized access to a server.

"We discovered the break-in and interrupted it instantly. The security gap through which the hackers gained access was closed immediately," said Ashampoo's CEO Rolf Hilchner.

"At the same time we reported this incident to the police. Further investigations are underway. Unfortunately, the traces of the well-concealed hackers currently disperse abroad," he added.

Fortunately, the hackers did not obtain access to billing information as this data is not stored on the company's servers.
