The breach, discovered in May 2025, involved unauthorized access to customer databases containing personal data including names, addresses, dates of birth, and in some cases, Social Security numbers. Most concerning, the breach exposed passport numbers, government-issued ID numbers, and, in a “small number of cases,” Social Security numbers data that could facilitate identity theft. Christian Dior Couture, the luxury fashion house owned by Louis Vuitton, has begun notifying customers of a major cybersecurity incident that exposed sensitive personal information of clients. Dior’s data breach exposed customer IDs and some Social Security numbers. Notably, Dior emphasized that no payment card information, bank account details, or other financial data were stored in the compromised database, potentially limiting the immediate financial risk to affected customers. The investigation revealed that the threat actor was able to maintain access to Dior’s systems for an unspecified period, though the company states there is “no evidence of subsequent unauthorized access to Dior systems” beyond January 26. For additional support, affected customers can contact Dior’s dedicated breach response line at 1-833-918-5938, providing engagement number B147873 for verification purposes. According to the company’s official notification, Dior immediately launched a comprehensive investigation supported by leading third-party cybersecurity experts once the incident was identified. This suggests the breach may have been contained to a single infiltration event, though the delay in detection raises questions about the company’s cybersecurity monitoring capabilities.
