Hi all - I had an email from Cartier regarding a security breach. I’m not worried but did anyone receive the same? The following is an excerpt:
We are writing to inform you that an unauthorised party gained temporary access to our system and obtained limited client information. We contained the issue and have further enhanced the protection of our systems and data. We have also informed the relevant authorities and are working with leading external cybersecurity experts.

Yes, got the same this morning and was going to post it here straightaway but you beat me to it.
Don’t know if I should be worried, apparently they only got country, name and email. Still a bummer. Looks like buying online will come with more risks now across the luxury (and non M&S for example) platforms

Got one too, they used my surname when addressing me. I think it’s legit unfortunately. M&S still struggling after their cyberattack…Possibly these things will be getting more common in the future unless online retail world wakes up and secures themselves better.
Every company, even small, should have a cybersecurity department or at least a person who deals with it.

Harrods had one recently too (I’m sure you know 
). The hackers are clearly targeting the high net worth client bases so we should all be wary of any rogue emails, texts etc from where we shop. Always check the sender address and if it looks dodgy/strange it probably is!

Cartier Data Breach: Luxury Retailer Warns Customers That Personal Data Was Exposed
Cartier disclosed a data breach in which an unauthorized party gained access to its systems and obtained some client information.
Sounds as if home addresses weren't accessed, but I'm concerned that would be valuable to them.
I've gotten a thousand of these. Whatever ... there is no privacy anymore.
