H&M Group says it is investigating reports alleging it was targeted by a cybercriminal group known as Shinyhunters. Multiple outlets report that the company is examining whether any incident occurred and whether customer or company information was affected.
The claims emerge amid wider concerns about cyberattacks affecting fashion retailers. Outlets note that Asos was attacked last week, and they frame H&M’s investigation as part of a broader pattern of threats facing the sector. Retail Gazette adds that H&M is assessing reports that a limited amount of company data may be involved, while other coverage highlights the group’s portfolio of brands and its scale across markets.
While details remain limited and preliminary, the reporting is consistent that H&M is reviewing the allegations rather than confirming an attack. The differing angles across outlets mainly reflect varying emphasis—some focus on the alleged group and data impact, while others stress the company’s size and the wider retail cyber-security risk.
