Asos has told its customers that hackers are in possession of detailed profiles of potentially millions of the online store's users.

It issued the update after BBC News told the retailer it had been contacted by cyber criminals who said this week's breach went beyond the "basic contact details" Asos previously said might have been accessed.

Names, addresses, phone numbers, emails and customer numbers are now in the hands of cyber criminals.

So too are the searches customers have made on the website. Terms like "reclaimed vintage", "glamorous wide fit" and "Asos petite" are visible in the data.

With this information, scammers may be able to craft potent phishing attack emails or phone calls.
