Data storage firm Snowflake has said hack at Asos was not caused by a vulnerability or flaw with its platform.

It comes after Asos’ investigation this week found an “unauthorised party gained access to an Asos employee account by impersonating a trusted contact to obtain log-in credentials”. Asos said the credentials were then used to access information on third-party platforms used by the company.

We are aware of Asos’s notification to their customers regarding this incident. We can confirm this issue did not in any way result from a vulnerability, weakness, flaw, or misconfiguration with the Snowflake service, platform, or internal environments, and was not caused by Snowflake.

No remediation is required for Snowflake customers. We continue to encourage adherence to our security best practices.

There is no action you need to take on your account. However, please remain cautious of unexpected messages or calls claiming to be from Asos. We will never ask you to share passwords, security codes or payment details through an unsolicited message or call.
