I got what appears to be a phishing message from O'Connells (via Constant Contact) informing me of a charge of $5500+ to be debited from my payroll account today. You might want to put up a PSA.

About O'Connell's
O'Connell's, established in 1959, is a family owned and operated traditional clothier offering mens, womens, and young mens clothing.

I received something like that and almost immediately got another from O'Connell's telling me to disregard the previous email as they had been hacked. Good to see that someone in that old, traditional firm is IT savvy!

I got an email yesterday from O'Connell's that they'd been hacked.

Same here. Claimed changes made to my account, since I don't have an account with them I wouldn't have opened it anyway. O'Connell's must have caught that in short order, their warning appeared right above the phishing email.

#2 came about 45 minutes after #1 for me. That gave me plenty of time to send a heads up to their customer service email and to AAAC.
