Based on the findings of the initial checks immediately carried out by Fashion Box, the data reportedly stolen was saved in the company’s IT systems, and could relate not only to corporate information, but also to personal information of internal and external stakeholders.
Fashion Box has formally notified the relevant judicial and police authorities, as well as the supervisory bodies responsible for personal data protection in Italy and abroad. The company has also promptly alerted its employees, and deployed all the technical and organisational measures needed to strengthen its security systems and reduce the likelihood that similar events may occur in the future. Investigations to ensure the security and confidentiality of the personal data involved in the theft are still ongoing.
