ASOS app users report receiving unexpected, threatening push notifications that claim the retailer has been hacked and threatens to leak information. Multiple outlets say the notifications were sent to customers through the ASOS app, with several describing the message as “bizarre” or “sinister.”

BBC News, TechRadar and other papers state that dozens of users appeared to receive the alert, while some reports suggest it reached thousands. The Independent and the Mirror similarly describe customers being sent alarming messages, with wording focused on an apparent attempt to threaten or coerce. The Belfast Telegraph also frames the incident as a phone alert notifying customers that ASOS was compromised.

Across coverage, the key common thread is the appearance of the message inside the app and the implication of a data-leak threat. Outlets differ mainly in the estimated number of affected users and the degree of certainty implied by the word “hacked,” while none of the reports here provide confirmed details of whether ASOS systems were breached.
