ASOS hacked? A threatning 'we will leak it' alert has shoppers checking their accounts; is their data at risk and should customers delete the app?

ASOS customers woke to an alert no shopper wants to see. A push notification titled “ASOS HACKED” appeared on phones on Tuesday. The message claimed attackers had “fully compromised” a Snowflake instance linked to the British fashion retailer.

Screenshots quickly spread across social media. Some customers removed saved payment methods. Others wondered whether personal information had been exposed.
