The online trading platform, “About You,” issued a statement regarding a recent security incident involving its external logistics partner. According to the company, unauthorized access occurred within the systems managed by this third-party partner, which are utilized for processing and delivering customer orders. The company notified customers that individuals gained temporary access to these logistics systems.
While confirming that the platform’s internal systems remained unaffected, “About You” cautioned customers that, according to current information, there is a possibility that personal data may have been reviewed or copied from the compromised external system. In response to concerns, the platform emphasized that the data stored directly on “About You” accounts remains secure. The company advised customers that they can continue to safely conduct online purchases through the dedicated app and website, and that order fulfillment should proceed as normal.
Separately, the platform addressed the broader issue of consumer vulnerability, noting that many individuals are susceptible to online scams. While the core focus remains on the logistics breach, the company reaffirmed its commitment to customer safety. Users are encouraged to remain vigilant when transacting online and to rely on official channels for purchases.
The company reiterated that while the external logistics data was compromised, the primary customer accounts and associated data held by the platform itself were not affected by the breach.
