H&M Group is currently investigating claims of a potential cyberattack by the group ShinyHunters, which follows a recent incident involving ASOS. An H&M spokeswoman stated that they are aware of online claims regarding a limited amount of H&M data potentially being compromised. However, they have found no evidence that their data environment has been breached. ShinyHunters is known for financially motivated attacks, including phishing and exploiting cloud vulnerabilities. The investigation comes after ASOS confirmed unauthorized activity affecting customer data, although payment details were reportedly not compromised. H&M has not confirmed any breach, and the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office has not received a report regarding this incident as of October 10. The situation raises concerns about risks from compromised employee credentials and third-party services.
