Fraud risk for Vans customers after data breach
The footwear firm's parent company was hacked and customers' personal information stolen.
Customers of the footwear brand Vans have been warned they may be at risk of fraud or identity theft following a data breach at its parent company. In an email to its customers, Vans says the data breach was first detected by VF Group on 13 December, and was "apparently carried out by external threat actors." It said it had no information of customers being affected so far but warned the incident "may result in attempts of identity theft, phishing and possibly fraud in general."
