Hobbs and Whistles Owner Apologizes to Customers After New Cyber Attacks

The owner of fashion brands Hobbs and Whistles has apologized to customers after being hit by a cyberattack, the second hack impacting a UK retailer in a week. South African retail group The Foschini Group (TFG) said it became aware of the “cybersecurity incident” on Sunday, affecting its UK subsidiary TFG London, with “certain of its IT systems” impacted – specifically its Phase Eight, Hobbs and Whistles brands. But it said there is “no reason to believe that payment information is at risk”.
