Oregon Zoo is informing that visitors who purchased tickets online between December and June had their payment card information compromised.

Formerly Portland Zoo and Washington Park Zoo, Oregon Zoo is a 64-acre zoo owned by the regional Metro government. It is home to 1,800 animals from 232 species, including 28 on the endangered and threatened list.

It is the state’s largest zoo and one of the most popular tourist attractions, with more than 1.7 million visitors every year.

On June 26, Oregon Zoo discovered that its online ticketing service had been compromised. In response to the incident, the site was decommissioned, and an investigation was launched.

The investigation revealed that since December 2023, customer transactions had been redirected to a phishing page.

“On July 22, 2024, the investigation determined that an unauthorized actor redirected customers’ transactions from the third-party vendor who processed online ticket purchases, potentially obtaining payment card information from Dec. 20, 2023, to June 26, 2024,” reads the notice sent to impacted individuals.
