Customer data leaked after Louis Vuitton Korea suffers cyberattack
Louis Vuitton Korea has confirmed it was the target of a cyberattack on June 8, resulting in the unauthorized access and leak of some customer information. The breach did not affect any financial data, such as credit card or bank account details, the company stated in an official press release on Friday. 'We regret to inform that an unauthorized third party temporarily accessed our system, resulting in the leak of some customer information,' the South Korean unit of the French luxury house stated. The company discovered the breach earlier this week and promptly notified relevant government authorities. Measures have since been taken to contain the breach and strengthen cybersecurity protocols. 'We are strengthening the security of our systems and working with the best experts in cybersecurity,' the company said. The incident marks the second time in recent months that LVMH, the world's largest luxury group and parent company of Louis Vuitton, has faced a data breach. In May, Christian Dior Couture, another LVMH brand, disclosed that it had been the victim of a cyberattack in January, which also involved unauthorized access to customer data. French newspaper Le Monde reported the timing of the Dior incident. The recent Louis Vuitton breach underscores growing concerns around cybersecurity in the luxury retail sector, as global brands continue to manage vast amounts of sensitive customer data across digital platforms.
