Cybercriminals steal details of potentially millions of people in attack on labels’ parent company Kering

Hackers have stolen data from customers of the luxury fashion group Kering, whose brands include Gucci, Balenciaga and Alexander McQueen.

Cyber-attackers have stolen data of potentially millions of customers, including the names, phone numbers and email addresses of customers of the fashion group, it has emerged.

Paris-based Kering said the breach happened in June and that no financial information – such as bank account numbers, credit card information, or government-issued identification numbers – was taken.

The attackers have been identified as a ransom-seeking group, Shiny Hunters.
