- Louis Vuitton Korea confirms the cyber attack and data theft
- No financial data were taken
- Luxury fashion brands are actively attacked these days
The cybercriminals broke into the Korean subsidiary of the luxury brand Louis Vuitton and stole confidential files, the company confirmed.
“We regret to inform that an unauthorized third party temporarily agreed to our system that resulted in the filtration of customer information,” the company allegedly said in a statement published on its local website.
The company notified the government authorities and moved to ensure its infrastructure and data, confirming that certain information was taken in the violation, but the financial archives were not among them.
Scattered spider fingerprints
Other details of the attack are scarce: we do not know when the attack occurred, how criminals violated the company or what they sought to achieve. Nor do we know if they demanded any rescue in exchange for the stolen files, or if an encrypter was implemented.
However, we see a pattern in cybercriminals aimed at the main luxury brands. At the beginning of June 2025, the French luxury brand Cartier warned customers that part of their confidential personal information was stolen in data violation.
Two weeks earlier, in mid -May 2025, Dior experienced the same, after finding an unauthorized third party that accesses some of the data it has for Dior Fashion and Accessory clients. Almost at the same time, Victoria’s Secret, another important fashion brand, presented a new form before the US SEC. UU confirming the restoration systems after a violation.
Although it did not confirm in most cases, there were some reports attributed to the dispersed spider, an uninformed organization of cybercriminals known for pointing to specific industries at any time. The FBI recently warned of the scattered spider change approach to American retailers. Although most of these are not US companies, they are the main retail brands and, as such, they are probable objectives for the scattered spider.
