Louis Vuitton warning as hackers strike
Louis Vuitton has revealed that some of its UK customers’ data has been stolen after it became the latest retailer to fall victim to a cyber-attack.
The luxury fashion label, owned by French giant LVMH, has told its British customers that it was hacked earlier this month. Marks & Spencer, Harrods and the Co-op fell victim to attacks by cyber criminals earlier this year.
A spokesman for Louis Vuitton, whose creative director is Pharrell Williams, said information taken included names, contact details and purchase history.

‘While we have no evidence that your data has been misused to date, phishing attempts, fraud attempts or unauthorized use of your information may occur,’ its email to shoppers warned.
It is the third cyber attack against LVMH in recent months after Louis Vuitton Korea said it was hacked last week. Christian Dior, also owned by LVMH, said some customer data had been stolen in May.
