Asos app users hit by hacker pop-up demanding ransom

Asos users receive pop-up notification apparently sent by hackers

Asos customers in the UK received a push notification on Tuesday morning that appeared to come from hackers, stating the Snowflake instance was fully compromised and threatening to leak data unless the company engaged. The message, addressed to Asos's data protection officer and IT team, suggests attackers may have accessed both the Snowflake platform and Asos's separate notification system. Asos has not confirmed whether it uses Snowflake or what data may be affected.
