Sweaty Betty Holdings Limited

Sweaty Betty is a United Kingdom‑based activewear retailer that operates under the name Sweaty Betty Holdings Limited. The company offers activewear clothing and related items for fitness and leisure activities. It sells its products through its own branded channels, which include an online store and physical retail outlets.

In November 2019 Sweaty Betty suffered a website compromise in which attackers inserted Magecart‑style malicious code to capture payment card details entered during checkout. The breach affected customers who were entering new credit or debit card information, while those using saved payment methods, PayPal or Apple Pay were not impacted. The attack resulted in the theft of payment data and associated account passwords during the compromise window. This incident demonstrated the retailer’s vulnerability to web‑based skimming attacks and led to the removal of the malicious script and efforts to secure the online platform. The breach was publicly reported by BleepingComputer in November 2019. The event is recorded in publicly available sources describing the nature of the attack and its consequences for customer information.
