Fashion giant Inditex, owner of Zara and Bershka, confirmed a data breach at a third-party contractor, exposing internal commercial records but sparing customer data. The breach involved unauthorized access to information about Inditex’s business relationships, though no client names, contact details, or payment data were compromised, per the company’s statement. Inditex disclosed the incident on April 16, 2026, emphasizing that passwords and financial records remained secure, mitigating direct risks to consumers. The leak highlights vulnerabilities in supply chain cybersecurity, as the breach originated from an external vendor rather than Inditex’s own systems. No further details were provided on the attacker’s identity or the extent of the exposed commercial data, leaving questions about potential operational impacts.
