Hong Kong authorities began a check in connection with a leakage of personal data, which affected about 419 thousand customers of the Louis Vuitton fashion house. The leak occurred after the cyber attack on the brand in South Korea in June this year.
According to the Hong Kong Office for the Protection of Personal Data, attackers gained access to a wide range of information. Among the stolen data were customer names, passports, residence addresses, e -mail, phone numbers, shopping history and preferences in goods.
The French head office Louis Vuitton discovered suspicious activity in his system on June 13. Later, on July 2, it became clear that customers in Hong Kong also suffered. The message about the incident was received by the local supervisory authority on July 17.
The regulator began to check, including studying whether there was a delay in notification of the incident. So far, there have been no official complaints from citizens.
The incident in Hong Kong occurred against the backdrop of a similar case in South Korea, where earlier in June, as a result of hacking, a leak of customer data also occurred, however, without financial information.
