Harvey Nichols confirms cyberattack, says customer data leaked

Cyber attack.

Harvey Nichols, a luxury British department store chain known for offering high-end fashion, beauty, food, and home products, suffered a cyberattack in which crooks stole sensitive user data. The company confirmed the news in data breach notification letters it recently started mailing to affected customers.

In the email, the company said that it lost people’s names, postal addresses, phone numbers, company names, and email addresses. It described the information stolen as “non-sensitive” despite the fact that it can be used in dangerous phishing attacks that can result with wire fraud, ransomware attacks, and more.
