Australian customers have been informed of a cyber attack impacting popular fashion retailer Mango, which has led to potential data compromise.
Mango, which is based in Barcelona, Spain, operates in Australia under the name MNG and specialises in clothing for men, women and children. It goes by the different name as the Mango trademark is owned by local retailer Best & Less, which it uses for its childrenswear label.
The Spanish clothing retailer released a statement to customers saying that a third-party marketing service had suffered a cyber attack, leading to personal data being exposed.
“The information exposed is limited to personal contact information used in marketing campaigns: name only (your last name has not been compromised), country, postal code, email address and phone number,” the company said.
“Under no circumstances have your banking information, credit cards, ID/passport, or login credentials or passwords been compromised.”
Mango added that its own systems had not been compromised and that both its retail and corporate operations remain normal.
“As soon as Mango became aware of this situation, it immediately activated all security protocols,” the company said.
“We are issuing this communication as a precaution and recommend that all our customers pay attention to any suspicious communications or requests for unusual actions, whether by email or phone.”
While the retailer did not specify that Australian customers were impacted, it’s likely that any data compromised would include customers from around the world.
Cyber Daily has not observed any threat actors claiming responsibility for the cyber attack, nor has the third-party organisation been named.
The year 2025 has been littered with cyber attacks on retailers, with three UK retailers – Marks & Spencer, Co-op, and Harrods – all suffering cyber attacks, leading to weeks of outages and millions of records stolen.
In the case of Co-op, all 6.5 million members were impacted by the cyber attack.
“I’m devastated that information was taken. I’m also devastated by the impact that it took on our colleagues as well as they tried to contain all of this,” said CEO Shirine Khoury-Haq.
“There was no financial data, no transaction data, but it was names and addresses and contact information that was lost.”
