Asos customers receive ‘hack’ notification threatening leak
- Asos app users received a push notification on Tuesday morning claiming the platform's systems were compromised, with the message stating "ASOS HACKED" and alleging the company's Snowflake instance was fully breached.
- Sent shortly before 10 a.m., the message threatened the Asos DPO and IT departments, demanding they "Engage with us, or we will leak it" via a Telegram chat link included in the notification.
- More than 400 customers flagged issues on Downdetector by 10:30 a.m., while some users questioned on social media whether the alert was a marketing strategy rather than a genuine security breach.
- Asos has not commented on the alert, though British law requires the company to report any data breaches classified as "high risk" to officials within three days.
- The retailer, which reported revenues of £2.5 billion in 2025 and serves 17 million customers annually across more than 150 countries, now faces scrutiny over the scope and authenticity of the alleged breach.
