According to multipleusers on social media, for a period of time on Saturday customers were being shown other users information when refreshing their order pages.
Its not clear if this includes full credit card numbers, but one user shared an image showing a partial number.

Every time I refresh the website, I can see someone elses name, phone number, address, order history its like a cycle of 4 or 5 people, wrote one Reddit user. This is very worrisome, cant even change password because of this glitch.
Oh God, I tried it and its doing it for me too, added another user. Addresses, birthdays, emails, etc this is really bad.

GameStops Customer Care team has responded, claiming that the addresses and names appearing in customers accounts were part of a test and not actual customer data.
This was immediately fixed the same day it took place, it told VGC. This was test data created by our teams, not actual customer data.
However, an online search suggests that some of the names and addresses that were shown to customers on its website could match real people. VGC has asked if real address data was used.

Sure pal, sure

What's with companies and 'tests' that destroy their brand value

It's okay. The people who idolize Elon will throw more money into it so the company will not fail.

Even if it was really a test, someone fucked up doing it in the live environment >_>

Also as someone who used to do the kind of stuff that would result in tests like this (but of course, not in a live environment), they absolutely would've used real address data. You absolutely cannot make enough fake data to be useful.

Bunch of frauds

clclcl

All over again
