Customers of the British fashion retailer ASOS, including those in Israel, received an unusual push notification on the company's app Tuesday. Hackers claimed to have breached ASOS's systems and threatened to leak personal user data. The notification initially read "ASOS HACKED" and then directly addressed the company, stating, "To the DPO and the ASOS IT team, we have fully breached your Snowflake account. Contact us, or we will leak it." A link to a Telegram chat was also included.
ASOS has not yet issued an official statement regarding the alleged breach, leaving the extent of potential customer data compromise unclear. Reports indicate that the notification reached a significant number of app users globally. The company has not responded to media inquiries or posted about the alert or a possible cyberattack on its social media accounts.
This silence has raised concerns among ASOS customers, especially given the popularity of the online shopping site and the sensitive personal information it holds for millions of users. ASOS is one of the largest online fashion retailers worldwide, with a substantial customer base in Israel, partly due to its free shipping policy and regular discounts for Israeli customers.
