House of Dior Notifies Customers in Asia of Data Breach

Luxury fashion house Dior has confirmed that a cyberattack exposed the personal data of an undisclosed number of customers.

The data breach is believed to have impacted customers of the French luxury brand in South Korea and China, with reports of data breach notices being received by consumers in these regions.

According to screenshots of the notifications, the company detected unauthorized access to its systems on May 7. The exposed data includes:

• Customer names and gender
• Contact information, including phone number and email address
• Postal addresses and purchase history

No passwords or financial information has been accessed, according to a security notice published on Dior’s South Korean website.

“No passwords or payment information, including bank account or payment card information, were in the database affected in the incident,” the statement reads. “We are working to notify relevant regulators and customers in line with applicable law. The confidentiality and security of our customers’ data is an absolute priority for the House of Dior. We sincerely regret any concern or inconvenience this matter may cause our customers.”

While the incident is still under investigation, Dior customers are advised to watch out for phishing attempts and scam messages leveraging the exposed information.

Despite assurances that no passwords and financial data were exposed, we urge caution and good cyber safety habits:

• Reset the password for your Dior customer account and for any other account with the same login.
• Remain vigilant against unsolicited correspondence and never share sensitive information such as financial data, passwords and PINs.
• Monitor financial accounts for any suspicious activity.
• Use digital identity monitoring tools to enhance the security of the digital you.
