Clearly, luxury goods <\/b>are inspiring criminals.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After counterfeiting, hacking is becoming the new sport of choice for a new generation of pirates<\/b>. And they don’t hesitate to target the biggest names in luxury. Within the LVMH group, after Christian Dior and Tiffany, Louis Vuitton has just been hacked<\/b>.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In a statement published on its website, the company confirmed that an \u201cunauthorized third party temporarily gained access\u201d to its system to \u201cobtain certain information\u201d about its French customers.<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A few days earlier, Louis Vuitton had already confirmed a similar attack on its South Korean, Turkish, and British subsidiaries.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It thus expanded on information from Bloomberg that the iconic French leather goods company had been the victim of a data hack involving British customers on July 2.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Several media outlets, including the news agency, had access to the email sent to customers by Louis Vuitton.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The hackers stole data<\/b> that was not, however, the most sensitive (first names, last names, gender, country, phone numbers, email and postal addresses, dates of birth, purchases, and preferences<\/strong>), the email specified, assuring that \u201cno passwords or financial information<\/b> such as payment card details, bank account details, or other financial documents were included in the database concerned.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n However, the leather goods company admits that this hack is not necessarily harmless. \u201cAlthough we have no evidence that your data has been misused to date, phishing attempts, fraud attempts or unauthorized use of your information may occur,\u201d it admitted in the same email.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n \t\tRisks of phishing and fraud attempts<\/h2>\n
