April 16 (Reuters) - ⁠Zara owner Inditex ⁠said it had identified ‌unauthorised access to databases hosted by a third party ​containing information on ⁠transactions with ⁠customers.

The databases do not contain ⁠customer ‌data, addresses, passwords, or ⁠bank card details, Inditex said ​in ‌a statement late on ⁠Wednesday, adding ​that it immediately applied security protocols and ⁠started notifying relevant ​authorities.

The breach "stems from a security incident that affected ⁠a former technology provider and has impacted several companies operating internationally", ​the company ⁠said. A spokesperson declined ​to give any ‌further information.
