"In a statement, Harrods said: 'We have been notified by one of our third-party providers that some Harrods e-commerce customers' personal data has been taken from one of their systems."
Harrods warned that some customers' personal data may have been taken in an IT systems breach affecting its e-commerce operations. Names and contact details of e-commerce customers were taken after a system belonging to a third-party provider was compromised. The breach was identified through notification from the third-party provider and communicated by Harrods. The affected data appears limited to basic contact information rather than payment details. Harrods is informing impacted customers and taking steps to investigate the incident. The event adds to a series of recent cyber-attacks on major UK firms and raises concerns about third-party security vulnerabilities.
