Mango Says Customer Contact Data Stolen in Third‑Party Breach

Security experts say the exposed contact details could fuel targeted scams.

Overview

  • Mango notified shoppers by email on Tuesday after hackers accessed data via an external marketing service provider.
  • Exposed information was limited to first name, country, postcode, email address and phone number, with no bank details, IDs or passwords taken.
  • The company reported the incident to Spain’s Data Protection Authority and said stores and online services are operating normally.
  • Mango has not named the marketing vendor or disclosed how many customers were affected, and it urged caution over suspicious emails and phone calls.
  • Analysts warn that third‑party suppliers remain a key weak point for retailers and that such data can power convincing phishing and impersonation attempts.
