Zara owner Inditex reports unauthorised access to transaction databases

Zara owner Inditex said it had identified unauthorised 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, adding that 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.
