Zara owner Inditex reports unauthorized access to transaction databases

Zara owner Inditex said it had identified unauthorized access to databases hosted by a third party containing information on transactions with customers.

The databases do not contain customer data, addresses, passwords, or bank card details, Inditex said in a statement late on Wednesday, April 15, adding it immediately applied security protocols and started notifying relevant authorities.

The breach “stems from a security incident that affected a former technology provider and has impacted several companies operating internationally,” the company said. A spokesperson declined to give any further information. – Rappler.com
