Phase Eight, Hobbs and Whistles owner joins growing list of fashion retailers targeted by hackers
TFG London says an October 11 attack hit systems for Phase Eight, Hobbs and Whistles; data exposure remains unconfirmed.
TFG London, the UK arm of South Africa’s The Foschini Group, detected a cyberattack on 11 October 2026 affecting IT systems used by Phase Eight, Hobbs and Whistles. Inside Story and White Stuff were spared, and TFG Africa and Australia run separate systems. Stores stayed open while some systems remained down, and whether personal data was exposed is still under investigation. The incident follows a recent ASOS attack, while H&M says it has found no compromise after ShinyHunters claims.
