Fashion retailer and marketplace Asos sells fast fashion from over 900 brands. It was founded in London in 2000, originally as an acronym for ‘As Seen On Screen’. Retail Week provides news, analysis, features and opinion about Asos and the fashion sector.
Asos has confirmed that thousands of its customers’ details are now in possession of hackers following its cyber attack on Tuesday (October 6).
Asos hit the headlines yesterday (October 6) after some app customers received a message from hackers that read: “Dear Asos DPO and IT, we have fully compromised the Snowflake instance. Engage with us, or we will leak it.”
Asos has been hacked by cyber criminals apparently seeking to extort money from the online fashion retailer and some customer information may have been accessed.
Retailers have called for a similar charge to be brought in for the UK, where parcels under £135 remain exempt from customs duties until reforms take place.
Asos has launched its first adaptive collection for disabled customers across womenswear, menswear and curve.
