"Kering said on Monday: In June 2025, we identified that an unauthorised third party gained temporary access to our systems and accessed limited customer data from some of our [fashion] houses. Our houses immediately disclosed the breach to the relevant authorities and notified customers according to local regulations. The breach was promptly identified, and appropriate actions have been taken to secure the affected systems and prevent such incidents in the future, the company added, without naming which brands had been affected."
"According to one website tracking hacks, DataBreaches.net, Shiny Hunters this last month posted samples of the data breach on Telegram channels showing names, email addresses and dates of birth of some Gucci customers. The BBC, which first reported Kering's confirmation of the breach, said samples of the details showed how much some of the customers were spending in stores in some cases up to $86,000 (63,000). Shiny Hunters told the BBC it breached the brands in April."
Kering owns luxury brands including Gucci, Balenciaga and Alexander McQueen. In June 2025 an unauthorised third party temporarily accessed Kering systems and obtained limited customer data from some houses. Potentially millions of customers had names, phone numbers and email addresses exposed; no bank account, credit card or government ID numbers were taken. Attackers were identified as ransom-seeking group Shiny Hunters, which posted samples on Telegram showing names, emails, dates of birth and purchase details. Samples indicated some customers spent up to $86,000 in stores. Affected houses notified authorities and customers, and Kering said systems were secured and measures taken to prevent future incidents.
