Cyber security incident regarding historic orders
JD Sports Fashion Plc ("JD Sports") has been the target of a
cyber incident which resulted in the unauthorised access to a
system that contained customer data relating to some online orders
placed between November 2018 and October 2020. The affected JD
Sports group brands are JD, Size?, Millets, Blacks, Scotts and
MilletSport.
The affected data is limited. JD Sports does not hold full
payment card data and, further, has no reason to believe that
account passwords were accessed.
The information that may have been accessed consists of the
name, billing address, delivery address, email address, phone
number, order details and the final four digits of payment cards of
approximately 10 million unique customers.
We have taken the necessary immediate steps to investigate and
respond to the incident, including working with leading cyber
security experts. We are engaging with the relevant authorities,
including the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), as
necessary.
We are proactively contacting affected customers so that we can
advise them to be vigilant to the risk of fraud and phishing
attacks. This includes being on the look-out for any suspicious or
unusual communications purporting to be from JD Sports or any of
our group brands.
Neil Greenhalgh, Chief Financial Officer of JD Sports, said:
"We want to apologise to those customers who may have been
affected by this incident. We are advising them to be vigilant
about potential scam e-mails, calls and texts and providing details
on how to report these. We are continuing with a full review of our
cyber security in partnership with external specialists following
this incident. Protecting the data of our customers is an absolute
priority for JD."
