Asos App Sends Threats Instead of Jeans
A rogue Asos notification claimed a Snowflake instance got breached, though customer theft is unverified. Marvellous way to start the workday.

The Full Story
Just another Tuesday in IT, as app users were greeted by a rogue notification boldly alleging that a Snowflake instance had been compromised. Customers receiving the threat were left wondering if their data was swiped, though actual customer info theft stubbornly remains unverified. Guarding against such drama is rather tricky when the compromise claims remain unverified, meaning everyone is simply stuck waiting to see if anything was stolen.
