US EditionHarrods customers' details stolen in IT systems breach
- In September 2025, Harrods, the luxury department store in Knightsbridge, London, informed its e-commerce customers that some of their personal information had been accessed due to a breach involving one of its third-party service providers.
- The breach involved data from an external service provider linked to Harrods, but officials confirmed that this was a contained incident and unrelated to previous unauthorized access attempts targeting Harrods’ own systems in May.
- The data exposed consisted of fundamental personal information including customers' names and communication details, while login credentials and financial data remained secure, and those impacted were notified without delay.
- In July 2025, authorities detained four individuals—a 20-year-old woman and three males between 17 and 19 years old—suspected of orchestrating coordinated cyber attacks on major UK retailers including Harrods, Marks and Spencer, and the Co-op; all were subsequently released on bail while investigations continue.
- Harrods is working closely with the third party and authorities to contain the breach and has emphasized the need for all organizations to strengthen cyber defenses due to increasingly sophisticated attacks.
