Breach Database / Fashion Nexus

Yes — Fashion Nexus was breached.

What happened

In July 2018, UK-based ecommerce company Fashion Nexus suffered a data breach which exposed 1.4 million records. Multiple websites developed by sister company White Room Solutions were impacted in the breach amongst which were sites including Jaded London and AX Paris. The various sites exposed in the incident included a range of different data types including names, phone numbers, addresses and passwords stored as a mix of salted MD5 and SHA-1 as well as unsalted MD5 passwords. When asked by reporter Graham Cluley if a public statement on the incident was available, a one-word response of "No" was received.

What data was exposed

What to do right now

  1. Change your password for this service now. And change it anywhere you reused the same password — attackers try leaked passwords on other sites within hours ("credential stuffing").
  2. Turn on two-factor authentication. Even a leaked password is useless against an account protected by a second factor. Prefer an authenticator app over SMS.
  3. Be alert for smishing and SIM-swap attempts. Treat unexpected texts and "carrier" calls with suspicion; add a PIN/port-freeze with your mobile carrier.
  4. Watch for targeted phishing mail. A leaked home address makes postal and doorstep scams more convincing.
  5. Expect convincing phishing emails. Attackers use breached details to write personalized emails. Be suspicious of any message referencing this service.
  6. Check your other accounts on Have I Been Pwned. Your email address may appear in other breaches you don't know about yet.
  7. Monitor the apps you use going forward. Clearly watches the breach record for the companies behind your apps and alerts you the moment one appears.
