The luxury fashion brand Chanel announced a data breach affecting some of its customers in the United States. The breach involved unauthorized access to a US database hosted by a third-party service within Chanel's Salesforce environment. The exposed data included limited details such as names, email addresses, mailing addresses, and phone numbers of individuals who had contacted the US client care center. No malicious software was used, and daily operations were not affected. The breach was linked to a group of cybercriminals known as ShinyHunters, who used social engineering techniques like vishing to trick employees into revealing login details. Chanel promptly activated security procedures and engaged cybersecurity experts to investigate the incident.
