Asos confirms hackers sent 'unauthorised' notification to app users

This story is from the archive. It was covered between 6 October 2026 and 6 October 2026, and nothing below has been updated since. See what is happening now.

Asos confirmed an "unauthorised customer notification" was sent out via its app on Tuesday, after users raised alarm.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on the in-app notifications and ASOS’s confirmation, with the BBC framing the story around users receiving alert messages and later the company’s acknowledgement. BleepingComputer is more explicit in calling it a data breach and says the hackers claimed to have stolen customer data from ASOS’s Snowflake environment, a detail not mentioned in the BBC’s extracts.
