Luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton has confirmed a data breach at its South Korean unit that resulted in the leak of customer information, including contact details.
The incident occurred in June but was only discovered on Wednesday, prompting the company to notify authorities and take immediate action.
“We regret to inform that an unauthorized third party temporarily accessed our system resulting in the leak of some customer information,” Louis Vuitton Korea said in an official statement. However, the company clarified that no financial data was compromised.
The breach has raised concerns as it follows similar incidents involving other brands under the LVMH group. South Korean units of Christian Dior Couture and Tiffany have also been under investigation since May for earlier customer data leaks, according to the country’s Personal Information Protection Commission.
Louis Vuitton stated that it has implemented additional security measures to contain the breach and prevent further unauthorized access.
