Rex Mundi also took to Twitter to publicise the alleged hack and advised customers to speak to their lawyers.
In a message, Rex Mundi said: 'Earlier this week, we hacked our way into the servers of Domino's Pizza France and Belgium, who happen to share the same vulnerable database.
'And boy, did we find some juicy stuff in there! We downloaded over 592,000 customer records (including passwords) from French customers and over 58,000 records from Belgian ones.'

Domino's France issued a statement on Twitter saying that although its data is encrypted, it has fallen victim to 'professionals' who were able to 'decode the cryptographic system for the passwords'.
Domino's Pizza executive Andre ten Wolde then told a Dutch newspaper that the ransom demand would not be paid, and stressed financial data, had not been compromised.
Customers of the pizza company are being advised to change their passwords 'as a security measure'. The breach has also been reported to French police.
