Germany's consumer centres say online electronics retailer asgoodasnew was hit by a cyberattack that may affect data of about 1.8 million customers, reportedly discovered in early March 2026 [1]. Data possibly exposed includes names, addresses, emails, order history and encrypted passwords, and the company reportedly reset all customer passwords [1]. The consumer centres advise affected customers to set a new password, change reused passwords on other sites, and scrutinize suspicious emails without opening unknown attachments or links [1].
