Superdrug has become the latest big-name high street brand to have suffered a damaging breach of customer data, after hackers apparently tried to hold the firm to ransom.

The UK health and beauty retailer has been sending emails out to those affected after reports suggested hackers contacted the firm on Monday to say they had data on 20,000 customers.

“The hacker shared a number of details with us to try and ‘prove’ he had customer information — we were then able to verify they were Superdrug customers from their email and log-in,” a spokeswoman told ITV News.

The firm has apparently confirmed the validity of over 300 compromised accounts but appears to be trying to minimize the fall-out.
