My Daily Choice pulled its website offline on February 15th and told customers the truth: the company had been hit by a ransomware attack and customer data was compromised. Then it deleted the warning and hoped everyone would forget.
The original message was clear enough. My Daily Choice disclosed that hackers had breached its technical infrastructure, potentially exposing personal information and financial details belonging to distributors and retail customers. The company said its internal IT team and external cybersecurity experts were investigating. It told people to monitor their accounts for suspicious activity.
That transparency lasted less than 48 hours.
When I first learned about the breach, I decided to wait. If My Daily Choice could fix the problem over the weekend and get back online, there wasn't much of a story. Companies get hacked. It happens. The company did the right thing by taking the site down and warning people.
Then I pulled up that original disclosure again. What My Daily Choice had posted made it clear this wasn't a minor incident. Distributors and customers had potentially been exposed. The company needed to own what happened and keep people informed.
Instead, My Daily Choice removed the message entirely.
That's when it became a story worth telling.
Disappearing a data breach disclosure doesn't make the breach disappear. It just leaves people vulnerable and uninformed. Customers who weren't paying close attention to My Daily Choice's website don't know their data was compromised. They won't take precautions. They won't monitor their accounts or watch for fraudulent charges. They're sitting ducks.
My Daily Choice's initial response deserved credit. The company went public immediately. It didn't try to bury the news or wait for someone else to uncover it. The statement acknowledged what happened, explained what the company was doing about it, and gave customers specific steps to protect themselves. That's textbook crisis management.
But pulling down that message 48 hours later erases that good faith. It suggests the company wanted the announcement to exist just long enough to say they'd disclosed it, then vanish before too many people noticed. That's not transparency. That's covering your tracks.
Ransomware attacks against e-commerce and direct-sales companies typically mean one thing: customer databases are fair game for criminals. My Daily Choice's original warning suggested this breach was serious enough to force a complete system shutdown. That severity didn't change when the company deleted the disclosure.
The people who rely on My Daily Choice as distributors or customers deserve to know what happened to their information. They deserve ongoing updates about the investigation. They deserve to know whether their personal details or financial information actually made it into criminal hands. They deserve better than a message that vanishes after two days.
Transparency means standing by what you say, not making inconvenient truths disappear. My Daily Choice had a chance to do right by its customers. Instead, it chose to make the problem go away—at least publicly.
