Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Asos Investigates After Hackers Send Notification To App Users
Caption: Asos Investigates After Hackers Send Notification To App Users. Asos is investigating unauthorised activity involving third-party platforms after hackers sent a notification to users of the retailer's app. Customers reported receiving a message reading "ASOS HACKED" on Tuesday morning, which cybersecurity experts said appeared to be an extortion attempt. Asos later confirmed an unauthorised customer notification had been sent and said some basic personal information may have been accessed. The company apologised and urged customers not to engage with the message, while stressing that its website and app were operating normally. It remains unclear how many customers received the notification. Asos has not yet informed the UK's Information Commissioner's Office of a data breach. The British retailer serves around 17 million customers annually across more than 150 markets, while its Android app has been downloaded more than 10 million times.
