“No passwords or payment information, including bank account or payment card information, were in the database affected in the incident… The confidentiality and security of our customers’ data is an absolute priority for the House of Dior. French luxury fashion house Dior has confirmed a significant data breach, revealing that an unauthorized external party accessed sensitive customer information earlier this month. The incident, discovered on May 7, 2025, has affected Dior’s Fashion and Accessories customers across several regions, including China and South Korea, and has sparked concerns over privacy and brand trust within the global luxury sector. In communications with customers, Dior apologized for the incident and stressed that the confidentiality and security of customer data remain top priorities. While financial data remains secure, the exposure of personal information serves as a stark reminder for both companies and consumers to prioritize cybersecurity and remain alert to potential scams in the aftermath of such incidents. Dior has urged customers to remain vigilant for suspicious communications, avoid clicking on unknown links, and not disclose sensitive information such as verification codes or passwords. Dior has emphasized that no financial information, such as bank details, IBANs, or credit card numbers, was stored in the affected database. While no financial data was exposed, the personal information accessed could increase the risk of targeted phishing scams and identity fraud. Some Korean customers reported receiving notifications nearly a week after the breach was discovered, raising questions about Dior’s incident response protocols. Passwords and payment information were kept in separate, uncompromised systems, ensuring that customers’ direct financial loss risk remained minimal.
