Vera Bradley Investigating Data Breach

Total Retail’s Take: With the holiday season quickly approaching, this is terrible timing for Vera Bradley to have to report a data breach (not that there's ever a good time). Although the company said the breach has been fixed, consumers may now think twice about shopping at a Vera Bradley store for gifts this holiday season. We'll see what changes Vera Bradley makes to ensure this doesn’t happen again, as well as how it handles the fallout from consumers.
