据报道，ASOS应用用户收到了疑似黑客发送的推送消息。众多用户称在手机上看到了来自这家服饰美妆电商平台的奇怪信息。
ASOS app users receive notifications from hackers in apparent breach Dozens of people appear to have received a strange message from the clothing and beauty store's app. By Joe Tidy Asos users across the UK have been sent pop-up messages from its app that appear to have been sent by hackers trying to extort the company.
据BBC报道，这些消息似乎是黑客试图勒索该公司而发送的。消息内容写道：“致ASOS数据保护官及IT团队：我们已完全攻破Snowflake系统。请与我们联系，否则我们将泄露相关数据。”
Dozens of people have told the BBC about receiving a strange message from the clothing and beauty store's app, appearing on their phone screens. "Dear ASOS DPO and IT, we have fully compromised the Snowflake instance. Engage with us, or we will leak it," the message reads.
目前ASOS尚未对BBC的置评请求作出回应。在社交平台上，大量用户发帖表示收到了这条信息，但对其含义感到困惑。
Asos did not immediately respond to the BBC's requests for comment. On social media, dozens of people have posted about receiving the message - confused as to what it means.
尽管这条勒索信息是直接发送给普通用户的，但其收件对象实为ASOS的数据保护官和IT团队。消息中提到的Snowflake是一家知名数据存储服务商，众多企业都使用其工具进行数据收集、分析与存储。目前尚不清楚ASOS是否为其客户，也不清楚是否有相关数据存储在该平台上。
Although the apparent extortion message has been issued directly to customers, it is addressed to Asos' data protection officer (DPO) and IT team. The message claims the unnamed hackers have "fully compromised the Snowflake instance". It also refers to the data storage company Snowflake, whose popular tools have been used by dozens of firms for collecting, analysing and storing data. It is not known if ASOS is a customer of Snowflake or what data, if any, is stored with the service.
近年来，Snowflake曾多次成为大规模数据泄露事件的源头，包括Ticketmaster和Santander等知名企业都曾因此遭受安全威胁。
But Snowflake has been the subject of many high profile data breaches in recent years and has been linked to incidents targeting services including Ticketmaster and Santander.
