Darty Hit by Cyberattack: 80,000 Customers’ Data Exposed French electronics retailer Darty has confirmed a cyberattack resulting in the theft of personal data belonging to 80,000 customers. The breach, disclosed this week, involved unauthorized access to information stored with a third-party service provider. Compromised data includes standard details such as names, email and physical addresses, and phone numbers. Additionally, the attackers obtained more specific information related to customers’ housing situations, including kitchen design preferences, budget ranges, and appliance purchase plans data linked to Darty’s kitchen planning tool. Notably, financial details and passwords were not affected, a common pattern in similar incidents. The breach follows a recent surge in cyberattacks targeting French businesses and public institutions, with other major retailers like Leroy Merlin and Conforama also reporting data leaks in recent months. Darty has not disclosed the exact timeline of the attack or the identity of the perpetrators. The incident underscores the ongoing vulnerability of customer data in high-profile breaches across France.
