Luxury Jeweller Cartier Falls Victim to Cyber Attack
Cartier, the luxury jewellery company owned by Richemont, has been targeted by cyber criminals, resulting in the theft of some client data. According to an email sent to customers, which was seen by Reuters, an unauthorized party gained temporary access to the company’s system.
The company, whose high-end watches, necklaces, and bracelets have been worn by celebrities such as Taylor Swift, Angelina Jolie, and Michelle Obama, stated that "limited client information" was obtained, including names, email addresses, and countries. However, Cartier assured customers that the affected information did not include passwords, credit card details, or other banking information.
Measures Taken to Contain the Issue
Cartier has since contained the issue and has taken steps to further enhance the protection of its systems and data. The company has also informed the relevant authorities and is working with leading external cybersecurity experts.
Recent Cyber Attacks on Other Companies
The attack on Cartier is the latest in a series of cyber attacks targeting companies. British retailer Marks & Spencer recently reported a "highly sophisticated and targeted" cyberattack in April, which is expected to cost the company around 300 million pounds ($405 million) in lost profits. French luxury house Dior, owned by LVMH, also reported a data breach last month, while fashion brand The North Face, owned by VF Corporation, emailed some customers to inform them of a "small-scale" attack in April.
Other Incidents of Cyber Attacks
London department store Harrods also reported an attempted cyber attack last month, following incidents at Marks & Spencer and the Co-op Group.
