Tiffany and Dior data breaches raise security questions for parent company LVMH
Tiffany & Co. has confirmed a data breach affecting customers in South Korea, marking the second such incident involving an LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton brand after a similar case at Dior. The Chosun reports that on May 26, Tiffany Korea notified select customers via email of a breach involving unauthorized access to a vendor platform used for managing customer data.
According to the email sent by Tiffany Korea, the breach occurred on Apr. 8. The company said it verified on May 9 that personal data belonging to individuals in South Korea had been compromised. The exposed information includes names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, internal customer ID numbers, and purchase history—data considered particularly sensitive from a consumer standpoint, as was the case in the Dior breach.
