Christian Dior Couture Client Data Breached in Cyber Attack
Christian Dior Couture has been hit by a cyber attack, with hackers obtaining some of its customers' data.
LVMH's second biggest fashion label said it recently discovered that an 'unauthorised external party' accessed some of its customers' data but no financial information, including bank or credit card details, was disclosed in the breach.
Dior says it's still investigating the incident with the help of cyber security experts after notifying the relevant regulatory authorities. 'We are in the process of informing customers where necessary,' the label added in an e-mailed statement Thursday.
Le Monde newspaper reported the cyber attack took place in January and that customers in Asia were informed of the database breach earlier this week. A representative for Dior didn't reply when asked to confirm these details.

Vantage raises $820 million in a first-of-its-kind cloud and AI data center deal in Europe
U.S. data center operator Vantage has raised 720 million euros ($821.4 million) — the first of its kind deal in Europe. The asset-backed securitization (ABS) deal, the first ever euro-denominated with data center assets on the continent, involves four data centers in Germany. The company said it will be paying on average a 4.3% coupon on the bonds issued through the process. In an ABS, Vantage raises money by using its data center infrastructure and future revenues from the facilities as collateral. Vantage said it will use the funds primarily to pay off existing construction loans previously secured for the facilities. "We believe the ABS market in particular is kind of best suited for our type of asset, which is real estate centric, high credit quality tenants, long term leases, something that is almost perfect for the ABS investor," Sharif Metwalli, chief financial officer of Vantage Data Centers, told CNBC. Vantage added that despite the large sum borrowed, the demand from investors exceeded the amount raised. "So this transaction was actually pretty highly levered, frankly," Rich Cosgray, senior vice president of global capital markets at Vantage Data Centers told CNBC. "It was higher leverage than our prior transaction and we had some investors that just weren't comfortable at that leverage level." "Yet, despite that, we were basically two and four times oversubscribed on the respective financings, and we were able to tighten pricing pretty meaningfully through the marketing process," Cosgray added. The four facilities — two in Berlin and two in Frankfurt — have access to around 55 megawatts of power and "are fully leased to hyperscale customers," the company said in a statement. The four facilities were valued at more than $1 billion earlier this year. Last year, Vantage also raised £600 million through the first-ever securitization of a data center in Europe, the Middle East and Asia (EMEA). The deal involved two units from the company's Cardiff campus with 148 megawatts of electricity power. Across the region, the company has 2,500 megawatts of data center capacity either operational or under development. The transaction was led by Barclays Bank and Deutsche Bank as joint lead managers and Vantage was represented by the British law firm Clifford Chance.

Nigel Farage calls for ‘re-industrialisation' of Wales
Nigel Farage has said his party wants to restart Port Talbot's blast furnaces and 're-industrialise Wales'. On a visit to South Wales, the leader of Reform UK said the resumption of traditional steelmaking and coal production is the party's long-term ambition if it comes to power. The speech came one year ahead of the Senedd elections in May next year, where the party is looking to end Labour's 26 years of domination. Addressing reporters, Mr Farage acknowledged that plans to open a traditional furnace could take years and cost 'in the low billions'. The GMB Union has branded the plans 'more lies from an opportunistic chancer'. Port Talbot's remaining blast furnaces were shut down in September last year, with a new electric arc furnace being built in their place. 'Our ambition is to re-industrialise Wales,' Mr Farage said. 'We are going to be using more steel over the next few years than we have probably ever used. 'As we increase military spending and as we attempt a house building programme in Wales, and even more so in England, of massive proportions, just to catch up with the population explosion over the last 20 years, we are going to need a lot of steel.' The Reform leader said 'specific types of coal' are needed in the UK, particularly for a new blast furnace. 'We should be producing ourselves, rather than importing,' he said. While he acknowledged 'mining is dangerous', he said the industry could provide well-paying jobs. Mr Farage acknowledged the plan to open a new furnace would cost 'in the low billions' and would be 'no easy thing'. 'It's a massive, expensive job to re-open blast furnaces, we're going to need cheaper energy, we're going to need much cheaper coal, we are going to need private business partners prepared to come into a joint venture,' he said. Responding to the GMB Union allegations that his party's plans were 'lies', Mr Farage said the union was tied to the Labour Party as one of its biggest funders. He said: 'They see us as a challenge, and therefore, they'll be rude about us. 'What you will find is that increasingly, GMB members are going to vote for us, and the more GMB members vote for us, the more upsetGMB officials and leaders will become. 'Frankly, the trade unions have done nothing to protect British workers through open borders over the last 20-25 years.' During his speech, Mr Farage said he doubted that the electric arc furnace, which is due to come online in 2028, 'will ever, ever be switched on'. Challenged on what evidence he had, he argued that with British energy prices being so high, it would be producing 'very, very expensive secondary steel'. He added: 'I hope I'm wrong, an electric arc furnace is not the real deal, but it's better than nothing.' Mr Farage said the party's campaign for the Senedd election next May 'starts today', but would not say when Reform would announce aleader in Wales. Regional officer Ruth Brady, speaking at the GMB's annual conference in Brighton, said: 'The people of Port Talbot will see this for what it is – more lies from this opportunistic chancer. 'Nigel Farage was happy to let British Steel go to the wall. He'll trot out any line when the cameras are rolling. He doesn't care about steel communities or steel workers.' Ms Brady said the plans to shut the blast furnaces were made by the last Tory government and the union wanted Labour to 'make good on their promises to our members in Port Talbot'.

Wild video shows mystery figure being chased on major airport runway — steps from moving planes
Wild video shows a mystery figure being chased across the tarmac of one of the world's busiest airports — just feet from moving aircraft. The unknown individual had something wrapped around his waist as he was filmed running across a taxiway at London's Heathrow Airport on Sunday with at least four staffers giving chase. The chase is right in front of where one jet is being backed up — and another lands at high speed close behind them. 3 Wild video shows a mystery figure being chased across the tarmac of one of the world's busiest airports. Big Jet TV via Storyful 3 The chase is right in front of where one jet is being backed up — and another lands at high speed close behind them. Big Jet TV via Storyful 'What's going on here? Why would there be people running across the … what's this all about?' the person filming the footage says, gasping that it is 'not right.' 'They are chasing him. What are you doing, mate? Get on the floor, son. Give yourself up,' the person filming says. The mystery figure managed to escape capture for over a minute, before he was caught up by a van carrying two people in fluorescent tops. He was then escorted away and pinned to the ground by security at the British transport hub, but not before the cameraman bemoaned the apparent lack of urgency from the authorities. 'Isn't there anyone fit enough to take him down?' asks the man filming. 'They're gonna have to stop the operations, man. They're gonna have to stop aircraft moving.' Police were later seen racing across the airport, close to Terminal 2, and arriving at the scene. 3 The mystery figure managed to escape capture for over a minute, before he was caught up by a van carrying two people in fluorescent tops. Big Jet TV via Storyful The unnamed man was put in the back of the vehicle and arrested. 'Working with partners, we have quickly resolved an incident at the airport involving an individual who accessed the airfield taxiway,' a spokesperson for Heathrow Airport told The Sun. 'The individual has been removed from the airport. The airport continues to operate as normal and passengers are traveling as planned.' It was not immediately clear why he was running nor how he got there.
