PARIS — Kering is the latest luxury group to be targeted by hackers.

The French conglomerate on Monday confirmed it was the victim of a cyber-attack in June, following a BBC report that a group of cyber criminals that calls itself Shiny Hunters stole the private details of potentially millions of Balenciaga, Gucci and Alexander McQueen customers.

It said the stolen data included names, email addresses, phone numbers, addresses and the total amount spent in the luxury stores around the world.

Kering declined to confirm which brands were affected and in which countries customers were targeted.

“In June 2025, we identified that an unauthorized third party gained temporary access to our systems and accessed limited customer data from some of our houses. Our houses immediately disclosed the breach to the relevant authorities and notified customers according to local regulations,” it said.

“No financial information — such as bank account numbers, credit card information or government-issued identification numbers — was involved in the incident. The breach was promptly identified, and appropriate actions have been taken to secure the affected systems and prevent such incidents in the future,” Kering added. 

It is the latest of a wave of global cyber attacks in recent months targeting high-profile brands and retailers from M&S, Co-op, Adidas and The North Face to Harrods, Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Chanel and Dior. 

“This wave of attacks on both luxury brands and high-street names shows just how attractive retailers are to cybercriminals,” said Julius Cerniauskas, chief executive officer of web intelligence platform and proxy provider Oxylabs.

“They hold vast amounts of customer data, and when defenses are weak or inconsistent, it’s only a matter of time before someone takes advantage,” he added.
