Dior data breach exposes US customer personal information after May attack

Data violations are no longer limited to technology giants or financial institutions. Industries such as health care, retail and even food and drinks have been increasingly found under attack.

Now the luxury fashion joins the list. Global Fashion Brand Dior informs American customers of a data violation that occurred in May, exhibiting personal information during a cybersecurity incident. Compromised data include contact numbers, domestic addresses and, in some cases, even the IDs issued by the government.

Dior Data Breach exhibits sensitive customer information

Dior began to inform American customers of a data violation that has exposed sensitive personal information after a cybersecurity incident earlier this year. In a notification letter, the French brand affirms that the violation occurred on January 26, 2025, but was only discovered more than three months later, on May 7.

“Dior’s room recently discovered that an unauthorized external part had accessed some of the data we have for our Dior fashion and accessories customers. We immediately took measures to contain this incident,” Cyberguy told a statement.

Compromise data include names, contact details, physical addresses, birth dates and, in some cases, identification numbers with passports or the government. Social security numbers have also been exposed for a subset of affected people.

The company, which is part of the LVMH Luxury Group, said that no payment or financial data was stored in affected systems.

“No payment information, including information on the bank account or the payment card, has been contained in the accessible database,” said the company, adding that the police have been warned and that third -party cybersecurity experts were brought to investigate.

Although the violation took place in January and was discovered in early May, customers were only informed at the end of July, which raises questions about the delay. This difference between detection and disclosure attracts attention, in particular given the sensitive nature of the data involved.

The previous violations of Dior and LVMH suggest a larger scheme

The incident reflects a previously reported violation involving Dior customers in South Korea and China. At the time, Dior mentioned any impact in the United States, but the chronology aligned itself. In addition, his brand of brother Louis Vuitton, also owned by LVMH, recently revealed similar offenses affecting customers in the United Kingdom, Turkey and South Korea.

What is artificial intelligence (AI)?

Dior has not confirmed the number of American customers affected or the full scale of the violation. However, BleepingCompute reports that the same attack targeted Dior and Louis Vuitton. Investigators provisionally linked the breach to the Shinyhuters extortion group, which would have accessed the data through a compromised third party supplier.

Shinyhuters has a history of targeting major organizations and selling stolen data on hacking forums. If the group is actually responsible, other disclosure of other LVMH brands could follow. Louis Vuitton could soon inform American customers if their data has been exhibited in the same way.
