The data breach allowed hackers to access customer details from fashion brand AX Paris. Around 9 July a “white hat hacker” or “ethical hacker” breached one of company’s web servers. Clients were advised to file reports with the Information Commissioner’s Office, and Fashion Nexus also filed a breach report. 1.4 million users had their details hacked. The majority had their names and email addresses accessed, and one-fifth also had their home address details accessed. No payment card information was stored in the databases.
