ASOS warns customers of possible data breach

Original: (malwarebytes.com) ASOS Customers Alerted to Potential Data Breach via Compromised Push Notifications In brief - This ar

British online fashion retailer ASOS has alerted customers to a potential data breach after attackers gained unauthorized access to its push notification system and used it to send hack warning messages directly to shoppers. The compromised notifications raised concerns that criminals had access to customer accounts or data. Security commentators are highlighting the unusual tactic of abusing a retailer's own alert infrastructure to warn or phish users, and advising customers to change passwords and watch for suspicious messages.

Why now: A well-known retailer's own notification system being hijacked to alert customers of a breach is an unusual and concerning security incident.
