"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. We have informed affected customers that the impacted personal data is limited to basic personal identifiers including name and contact details but does not include account passwords or payment details. The third party has confirmed this is an isolated incident which has been contained, and we are working closely with them to ensure that all appropriate actions are being taken."
"In July, four people, including two men aged 19, a 17 year-old boy and a 20-year-old woman who were arrested for their suspected involvement in damaging cyber attacks against Marks & Spencer, the Co-op and Harrods, were bailed pending further inquiries. They were arrested on suspicion of blackmail, money laundering, offences linked to the Computer Misuse Act, and participating in the activities of an organised crime group, according to the National Crime Agency."
Harrods warned some customers that personal data was taken after a third-party provider's system was compromised. The impacted information is limited to basic personal identifiers, such as names and contact details, and does not include account passwords or payment details. The third party described the incident as isolated and said it has been contained, with Harrods working closely with the provider on remedial actions. Harrods stated that no Harrods system was compromised and that the incident is unconnected to earlier unauthorized access attempts. Affected customers and relevant authorities have been notified. Earlier arrests linked to damaging cyber attacks involving multiple retailers were bailed pending inquiries.
