Fnac-Darty Reports Data Breach Affecting 80,000 Darty Customers Fnac-Darty disclosed a cyberattack on February 11, revealing that approximately 80,000 Darty customers had their personal data compromised. The breach targeted users who utilized the company’s online kitchen design tools, exposing information submitted during appointment scheduling. The stolen data includes names, postal addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, and details about customers’ homes or projects such as budgets, room sizes, and appliance preferences. While no financial or password information was accessed, the exposed data could be exploited for phishing campaigns. Darty confirmed that the incident stemmed from unauthorized access to data hosted by a third-party provider. The company has notified France’s data protection authority (CNIL) and filed a formal complaint. The breach coincides with heightened scrutiny of Fnac-Darty following recent strategic moves, including Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com’s investment and a competing €230 million takeover bid by Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky.
