Hong Kong investigates Louis Vuitton data leak that affected 419,000
Leaked data included names, passport details, addresses and email addresses as well as phone numbers, shopping history and product preferences, Hong Kong's Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data said in an emailed statement.
Louis Vuitton submitted the data breach incident to the office on July 17. Its French head office found suspicious activities on its computer system on June 13 and then discovered on July 2 that it affected Hong Kong customers, the statement said.
The office said it had launched an investigation into Louis Vuitton Hong Kong, including whether the incident involved delayed notification. No relevant complaints or inquiries have been received so far, it said.
The incident comes after a systems breach at Louis Vuitton in Korea in June led to the leak of some customer data, including contact information, but it did not involve customers' financial information, the company said.
Louis Vuitton did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Irish missionary among 9 kidnapped from a Haitian orphanage
The victims were taken from the Sainte-Helene orphanage in the commune of Kenscoff, about 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) southeast of the capital read more Children stand in the courtyard of the Maison La Providence de Dieu orphanage it Ganthier, Croix-des-Bouquets, Haiti, Sunday, Oct. 17, 2021. AP Nine people were kidnapped from an orphanage near the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince on Sunday, officials said, including the facility's Irish director and a three-year-old child. The victims were taken from the Sainte-Helene orphanage in the commune of Kenscoff, about 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) southeast of the capital. Among them was Gena Heraty, an Irish missionary who oversees the orphanage – operated by the humanitarian organization 'Nos Petits Freres et Soeurs' ('Our Little Brothers and Sisters'). STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD A three-year-old child and seven employees were also taken, according to Kenscoff Mayor Masillon Jean and a separate source close to the organization. 'The attackers broke into the orphanage around 3:30 am (0730 GMT) without opening fire,' Jean said, calling it a 'planned act.' 'They broke through a wall to enter the property before heading to the building where the director was staying, leaving with nine hostages.' No demands or ransom requests have been made, though Heraty called the organization early Sunday to confirm she was among the kidnapped, a source close to the organization told AFP. Heraty, who has lived in Haiti since 1993, runs the orphanage which cares for up to 270 children. She is the latest foreign missionary to become the victim of kidnapping in Haiti. In April 2021, two French priests were among ten people kidnapped in Croix des Bouquets before they were released nearly three weeks later. The same group behind that kidnapping, the '400 Mawazo' gang, took a group of 17 American and Canadian missionaries hostage six months later. Since the start of this year, Kenscoff has found itself in the crosshairs of the 'Viv Ansanm' ('Living Together') gang, which has already taken control of several other localities. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights said at least 3,141 people have been killed in Haiti in the first half of this year, where the growing impact of gang violence threatens to further destabilize the nation.

Wall Street banks lose ground in Europe as tariffs spook clients
Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads As US President Donald Trump has ratcheted up his rhetoric against trading partners in Europe - corporates across the continent are taking a result, some companies have begun to diversify their banking relationships away from the giants of Wall Street, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That's been a boon for Europe's leading banks, which have been actively vying to win the extra business."Some players are saying that it's better to go to European or French investment banks for advice on financing or mergers and acquisitions," said Arnaud Petit, managing director of Edmond de Rothschild's corporate finance business. Deutsche Bank AG chief executive officer Christian Sewing sees similar in potential clients' requests for proposals: "It is happening every day with client wins and RFPs and new business that we put on." So far this year, roughly half of the euro bond deals from non-US companies did not involve any of the five biggest US banks, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That's up five percentage points from a year sterling bonds the gap has widened even further - Wall Street banks were shut out of just 47% of deals throughout all of last year. So far this year, though, they've been excluded from 64% of them. The emergence of the ability of a few European banks "to be able to offer competitive services and advice to clients" has created a desire among clients to switch, according to UBS Group AG chief executive Sergio Ermotti. "We believe we are well placed to continue to benefit from that diversification."Even before Trump's trade war kicked off in earnest, the biggest of the US banks warned that it was starting to see an impact. By April, JPMorgan Chase & Co. had already lost "a couple" of bond deals tied to the tariff uncertainty, with companies opting for local banks instead, chief executive officer Jamie Dimon said in an interview with Fox Business at the time. He warned that the tumult was "causing cumulative damage including huge anger at the United States."The latest example of a win for non-US banks came this week, when Zurich-based insurer Chubb issued an offshore yuan-bond. It opted for Standard Chartered Plc to help take on the deal. The bank was told: "We want to bank with the regional champions, rather than just with global banks in general," Standard Chartered chief financial officer Diego de Giorgi said. "Because we think that you guys bring specific skills in a world that is fragmenting."
