Cartier reports some customer data stolen in cyberattack
Cartier, the luxury jewellery company owned by Richemont had its website hacked and some client data stolen, it told customers according to an email seen by Reuters. The company, whose watches, necklaces and bracelets have been worn by Taylor Swift, Angelina Jolie and Michelle Obama, said "an unauthorised party gained temporary access to our system." "Limited client information", such as names, e-mail addresses and countries, had been obtained, said Cartier in the email sent to customers on Tuesday. "The affected information did not include any passwords, credit card details or other banking information," Cartier said, adding it had since contained the issue. The company said it had further enhanced the protection of its systems and data, as well as informed the relevant authorities, and was also working with "leading external cybersecurity experts." Cartier did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The attack is the latest case of a company being targeted by cyber criminals. British retailer Marks Spencer said last month a "highly sophisticated and targeted" cyberattack in April will cost it about 300 million pounds ($405 million) in lost profits. French luxury house Dior, owned by LVMH also reported last month that hackers had stolen data from its customers, but insisted no financial data was involved, according to Le Monde newspaper. Fashion brand The North Face, owned by VF Corporation has also emailed some customers, saying it discovered a "small-scale" attack in April this year. The company told customers the hackers used "credential stuffing", trying usernames and passwords stolen from another data breach in the hope customers have reused the credentials across multiple accounts, the BBC said on Tuesday. London department store Harrods also said last month that hackers had attempted to break into its systems, following incidents at Marks Spencer, and the Co-op Group.

Ransomware hack said to be cause of M&S outages
A ransomware attack is the cause of a disruption at Marks and Spencer Group Plc., with hackers using a potent kind of malware to lock down some of the British retailer's systems and render them inaccessible, according to people familiar with the attack. The company has for more than a week attempted to recover from what it's called a 'cyber incident', pausing online orders and stopping processing some payments in its stores across the UK. A group of suspected cybercriminals hit the company with a kind of ransomware known as DragonForce, according to two people familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to share information about the investigation. Attackers use DragonForce ransomware to encrypt files on victims' computers, then demand payment in cryptocurrency to unlock them, according to cybersecurity experts. The creators of DragonForce, whose identities aren't known, operate like a criminal cartel, leasing out their malicious software and infrastructure to other hackers while taking a cut of any proceeds earned through extortion, experts say. A spokesperson for M&S declined to comment on the ransomware or the identity of the hackers. It's not clear whether the hackers have demanded payment from M&S, or whether it is engaging in any kind of negotiation. M&S has hired external cybersecurity experts to assist with investigating and managing the incident. 'We are taking actions to further protect our network and ensure we can continue to maintain customer service,' the company said in a statement. Marks Spencer shares have fallen 6.2% in London since the incident was reported on April 22. Explainer: Why Ransomware Hacks Mean Your Money or Your Network Hackers working with DragonForce claimed more than 90 victims last year and targeted companies across various industries, including health care, manufacturing and telecommunications, according to Broadcom's cybersecurity unit Symantec. The attacks spanned more than a dozen countries across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, according to cyber experts. M&S, which has more than 1,000 stores in the UK, said in a statement on April 22 that it was unable to process contactless payments and that 'click and collect' orders had been disrupted. The company also halted online orders and they have yet to resume. There have been reports of gaps on shelves as the company struggles with availability for some items. Hundreds of agency staff at M&S's main clothing and home warehouse were told not to come in on Monday as the company battles the problem, Sky News reported. With temperatures currently rising in the UK and online orders shut down for a fifth day on Tuesday, the cyber incident means that MS is missing out on online sales of its Spring-Summer range. 'I'm sure demand for summer clothing is probably going up this week,' said Kate Calvert, an analyst at Investec. 'There will be an impact on first quarter profits without a doubt.' The retailer prides itself on offering consumers a so-called 'omnichannel' approach where they can buy both in stores and online. Online makes up the smaller proportion of the business, with web or app-based sales accounting for about 30% of the retailer's UK clothing and home sales last year, but the longer online orders are halted the more it weighs on the business.
