A statement from Louis Vuitton South Korea said the breach involved names, contact information and other data provided by customers. Luxury brand Louis Vuitton said data breaches at its stores in Turkey, South Korea and the United Kingdom exposed the sensitive information of some customers. The breach announcement comes about one week after Louis Vuitton warned customers in South Korea of another data breach. Louis Vuitton submitted a notice of the breach to the Personal Data Protection Board, prompting the response. Last week, Turkey’s Personal Data Protection Board released a notice to the public about the data breach, writing that an investigation into the breach is ongoing. While the notice does not say what data was breached, Turkish officials said it affected 142,995 people living in the country who were Louis Vuitton customers. Both Dior and Tiffany announced data breaches or security incidents that exposed customer and employee data as law enforcement in the U.S. and Europe warned of a larger campaign by the hacking group Scattered Spider targeting retail companies. Last week, the company’s U.K. branch also announced a data breach. According to Turkish officials, the data breach began on June 7 and was discovered on July 2. While it is unclear whether the incidents are connected, the company’s South Korea arm confirmed that its incident occurred around the same dates as the Turkey breach. Hackers breached the service account of a third party service provider to access a database containing customer personal data.
