Luxury fashion conglomerate Kering confirmed hackers breached their systems in June, stealing personal data from potentially millions of customers across brands including Gucci, Balenciaga and Alexander McQueen. The ransomware group Shiny Hunters accessed names, phone numbers, email addresses and purchase histories—some customers spent up to $86,000. No financial information like credit cards or bank details were compromised.
Samples of stolen Gucci customer data appeared on Telegram channels last month. This follows similar attacks on Louis Vuitton in July and British retailers M&S, Co-op and Harrods. Meanwhile, Jaguar Land Rover factories remain shut for three weeks after their own cyber-attack.
