Inditex Faces Unauthorised Database Breach

Inditex, the owner of Zara, discovered unauthorised access to databases hosted by a third party. These databases contained transaction information but not sensitive customer data. Inditex quickly applied security measures and notified authorities. The breach originated from a former technology provider affecting multiple international companies.
