"Grand Haven Resident Faces Charges Over mPerks Points Theft"
Nicholas Mui, a 22-year-old from Grand Haven, Michigan, faces nine felony charges for allegedly stealing Meijer mPerks points by selling compromised account credentials online. The thefts, which resulted in a corporate loss exceeding $1 million for Meijer, were not due to a direct hack of Meijer's platform but rather stemmed from a major data breach from the MyFitnessPal app. Mui's arrest followed a joint investigation by Meijer, the Michigan Attorney General's FORCE team, and the Michigan State Police. The victims have been reimbursed by Meijer for their lost points. Mui's next court appearance is scheduled for January 9.
