Zara data breach exposes info of 197K customers
Data exposed:
  • email-addresses
  • purchases
  • order-ids
  • support-tickets
  • geographic-locations

Spanish fast-fashion retailer Zara disclosed a data breach that exposed the personal information of approximately 197,400 customers after attackers compromised credentials belonging to a former technology provider.

According to public reporting, the threat actor group ShinyHunters gained access to databases maintained by a third-party tech vendor previously used by Zara, part of the Inditex group. The intruders used stolen Anodot monitoring platform tokens to exfiltrate records containing unique email addresses, geographic location data, purchase histories, order identifiers, and support ticket details. The compromised data was subsequently analyzed and hosted by Have I Been Pwned, allowing affected individuals to check whether their information appeared in the set. Zara has not publicly detailed the exact timeline of the intrusion, but available reporting indicates the breach originated from the former provider’s environment rather than Zara’s core production systems.
