Asos has warned customers that personal information exposed in a data breach is now in the hands of cyber criminals, including names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and customer numbers.
The company issued the warning after hackers contacted the BBC about the incident. The available information does not specify when the breach occurred or how many customers may be affected.
The data listed by Asos includes several forms of contact and identifying information. Customers should therefore be aware that details linked to their accounts may have been accessed by unauthorised parties.
Asos’s warning indicates that the company is informing customers about the extent of the information involved. No further details about the cause of the breach, the identity of those responsible or any additional action announced by the retailer are available in the supplied material.
