Asos confirms data breach after rogue app notification
UK fashion retailer Asos has confirmed a data breach involving customers' personal information. Hackers broke into a third-party platform hosting data used for customer communications, stealing names, contact information, home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and customer profile notes including search queries. The hackers, calling themselves Xuanye Group, sent an unauthorized push notification through Asos' own app, referencing the compromise of data hosted on Snowflake, a cloud data platform. The notification pressured the company to engage or risk a leak. The attackers reportedly gained access by impersonating a trusted contact to obtain login credentials. Snowflake said its own systems were not breached. Asos has 17 million customers. The incident follows a similar breach at fintech firm Betterment earlier in the year.
