Hacker attack on fashion shop Asos

96

The shop Asos has a problem. Unknown people send messages to buyers. These messages come through the Asos app. The text says: Asos is hacked. The senders threaten to show data.

The hackers name a system called Snowflake. This is a cloud. Asos saves data there. This can be names or sizes. Also body data is there. It is not clear if hackers really have this data.

Experts advise caution. Customers must not click links. Cheaters try to steal words for safety. The app works normally. The firm does not confirm the attack yet. The stock loses value.
