Luxury fashion brand Dior has confirmed a cybersecurity incident that exposed customer information from its Fashion and Accessories divisions. The company discovered that an unauthorized external party gained access to customer data and immediately took steps to contain the breach.

“The teams at Dior, supported by leading cybersecurity experts, continue to investigate and respond to the incident,” a company spokesperson stated. Dior has assured customers that passwords and payment information remained secure, as these were stored in separate databases that were not compromised.

## Impact and Affected Regions

While Dior has not officially disclosed the full scope of affected customers, notifications confirm that both South Korean and Chinese customers were impacted. According to the company’s Korean website, the breach was discovered on May 7.

Information potentially exposed includes:
– Full names
– Gender
– Phone numbers
– Email addresses
– Postal addresses
– Purchase history
– Customer preferences

## Response and Recommendations

Dior is working to notify relevant regulatory authorities and affected customers in accordance with applicable laws. The company faces potential legal scrutiny in South Korea for allegedly failing to notify all applicable authorities about the breach.

Customers are advised to remain vigilant against phishing attempts requesting personal information and to report any suspicious communications impersonating the brand.

“The confidentiality and security of our customers’ data is an absolute priority for the House of Dior. We sincerely regret any concern or inconvenience this matter may cause,” the company stated.
