ASOS shares drop following unauthorized push notification to customers

Customers of the London-based online retailer ASOS received an unauthorized push notification claiming that the company's data had been compromised and threatening a leak. The notification coincided with a fall in the retailer's share price, though its website and application remained online. The extent of any data breach and the identity of those responsible remain unconfirmed.
