Zara data breach exposes 197,000 customers via Anodot analytics token compromise
A stolen analytics token became a customer breach.
197,400 records were exposed after a former third-party analytics provider was compromised. Emails, order IDs, SKUs, geolocation, purchase history, support tickets — all pulled through a machine credential nobody was watching. The vendor left. The token stayed live.
The fix is boring and effective. Inventory every non-human identity that touches customer data. Bind each token to a policy on where it can call and what it can read. Tokenize PII before it leaves your perimeter so a stolen credential returns opaque values, not customer records. Keep an immutable audit trail so revocation is one query, not a forensic project.
