US fashion retailer SHEIN has admitted suffering a major breach affecting the personal information of over six million customers.

The women’s clothing company revealed at the end of last week that its network had been targeted by a “concerted criminal cyber-attack” and that it had hired a forensic cybersecurity firm and a law firm to handle the investigation.

Details are scarce, but the firm said it had scanned for and removed backdoor malware found on its servers.

“While the full extent of the attack will continue to be investigated, it can now be confirmed that the personal information illegally acquired by the intruders included email addresses and encrypted password credentials of customers who visited the company website,” a statement noted.
