Cybersecurity: Threats and Defences: Foschini Group attack hits TFG LondonBackground
The Foschini Group, usually shortened to TFG, is a South African fashion, lifestyle and speciality retailer. It is listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and A2X. The group operates through TFG Africa, TFG London and TFG Australia, giving it separate regional businesses across three continents.
TFG London's portfolio includes the British premium fashion brands Phase Eight, Hobbs and Whistles. The regional segments also separate some of the group's information systems. TFG has said that systems used by its African and Australian businesses are distinct from those used by the London arm. This structure matters when assessing an operational problem because an event affecting one segment does not automatically establish that the whole group is affected. TFG is therefore both one listed retail group and a set of regionally organised businesses with their own brands and systems.
