Attack Types

Entity	Type	Severity	Impact	Seen	Incident Details
Dior (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.	Breach	60	2	9/2025	CHR1592715093025
Rankiteo Explanation : Attack limited on finance or reputation Description: In September 2025, Dior (Shanghai) was publicly sanctioned in China for unlawfully transferring personal information (PI) of Chinese users to its headquarters in France without complying with regulatory requirements. The violations included: - Failing to complete a cross-border data transfer security assessment, enter a standard contract, or obtain PI protection certification. - Not informing users adequately about overseas processing methods or obtaining their ‘separate consent’ before sharing data. - Lacking technical safeguards (e.g., encryption, de-identification) for collected PI. The breach was exposed after users received warning messages, triggering an investigation by China’s public security authority. While the penalty details were undisclosed, the case marked China’s first administrative penalty for illegal cross-border PI transfers, signaling stricter enforcement of the Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL). The incident underscored systemic compliance gaps in Dior’s data localization and security practices, risking reputational damage, regulatory scrutiny, and potential civil claims.
Christian Dior Couture	Breach	85	4	1/2025	CHR706072225
Rankiteo Explanation : Attack with significant impact with customers data leaks Description: Christian Dior Couture, a luxury fashion house owned by Louis Vuitton, experienced a significant cybersecurity incident that exposed sensitive personal information of its customers. The breach, discovered in May 2025, involved unauthorized access to customer databases containing personal data including names, addresses, dates of birth, and in some cases, Social Security numbers. The incident occurred on January 26, 2025, but was not detected until May 7, 2025. The affected database contained extensive personally identifiable information (PII) such as passport numbers, government-issued ID numbers, and Social Security numbers. No financial data was compromised, but the breach raised concerns about identity theft risks. Dior has implemented several remediation measures, including enhanced network security and complimentary credit monitoring services for affected customers.
Dior (Shanghai)	Breach	100	6	11/2024	CHR2433224091625
Rankiteo Explanation : Attack threatening the economy of geographical region Description: Dior’s Shanghai branch was penalized for violating China’s cybersecurity and data protection laws by transferring customer data to its French headquarters without complying with mandatory legal requirements. The breach involved the unauthorized cross-border transfer of personal information, lacking the necessary security screening, customer disclosure, and encryption as mandated by Chinese regulations. The incident highlights systemic failures in data governance, exposing customers to potential privacy risks while undermining compliance with China’s strict data localization and protection frameworks. The case underscores the heightened scrutiny under China’s evolving cybersecurity policies, particularly ahead of the enforcement of the National Cybersecurity Incident Reporting Management Measures (effective November 1, 2024). While the article does not specify the volume of data or direct harm (e.g., financial fraud or identity theft), the unauthorized transfer alone constitutes a serious regulatory violation, aligning with China’s classification of incidents threatening social stability or national data security interests. The fine serves as a warning to multinational corporations operating in China, emphasizing the legal and reputational consequences of non-compliance with data sovereignty laws.
Dior	Cyber Attack	85	4	5/2025	CHR3163431111725
Rankiteo Explanation : Attack with significant impact with customers data leaks Description: French luxury fashion brand Dior suffered a cyberattack on May 7, resulting in the exposure of customer data from its Chinese and South Korean operations. While account passwords and payment card details remained unaffected, the breach compromised personal information of customers, including: - China: Full names, gender, phone numbers, email addresses, postal addresses, and purchase histories. - South Korea: Contact details, purchase information, and shared preferences (e.g., product interests). The incident has triggered phishing risks for affected individuals, with Korean legislators criticizing Dior for delayed reporting to authorities. The attack’s scope is still under investigation, but the leaked data—though not financial—poses reputational and privacy risks, particularly given the high-profile nature of the brand and its customer base. Authorities and impacted users have been alerted, though the long-term consequences (e.g., fraud, regulatory penalties) remain unclear.
Louis Vuitton	Breach	85	4	7/2025	LOU0265102090625
Rankiteo Explanation : Attack with significant impact with customers data leaks Description: In July 2025, luxury fashion brand Louis Vuitton confirmed a data breach affecting thousands of its customers. The incident exposed highly sensitive personal information, including names, contact details, and purchase histories. While the exact scale of the breach remains undisclosed, the leaked data—particularly transaction records and customer profiles—poses severe risks. Criminals could exploit this information for targeted phishing attacks, identity theft, or financial fraud, especially given the brand’s high-net-worth clientele. The breach underscores vulnerabilities in third-party data-sharing practices, as retailers often store and share customer data with minimal oversight. Though no ransomware was involved, the exposure of personal and financial details linked to luxury purchases heightens the potential for reputation damage, fraudulent activity, and long-term trust erosion. The breach aligns with broader trends in 2025, where stolen account data—including 6.8 million records earlier in the year—fueled underground markets for identity exploitation.
Louis Vuitton	Breach	85	4	7/2025	LVM852071225
Rankiteo Explanation : Attack with significant impact with customers data leaks Description: Louis Vuitton has suffered a data breach where an unauthorised third party accessed its UK operation's systems and obtained customer information such as names, contact details, and purchase history. Although no financial data was compromised, the company warned customers about potential phishing, fraud, or unauthorised use of their information. This is the third breach of LVMH’s systems in the past three months, with previous incidents affecting Louis Vuitton's Korean operation and Christian Dior Couture.
Dior	Breach	85	4	1/2025	PAR711072225
Rankiteo Explanation : Attack with significant impact with customers data leaks Description: The House of Dior (Dior) experienced a data breach on January 26, 2025, which was discovered on May 7, 2025. The incident compromised personal information of U.S. customers, including full names, contact details, physical addresses, dates of birth, passport or government ID numbers, and Social Security Numbers. No payment details were compromised. Dior took steps to contain the incident and engaged law enforcement and third-party cybersecurity experts. Customers were advised to be vigilant against scams and offered a 24-month credit monitoring service.
Dior (Shanghai branch)	Breach	100	5	9/2025	PAR3532535092325
Rankiteo Explanation : Attack threatening the organization’s existence Description: Dior’s Shanghai branch was fined for violating China’s cybersecurity regulations after transferring customer data to its French headquarters without adhering to mandatory security protocols. The incident involved unauthorized cross-border data transfer, lacking proper encryption, customer disclosure, or regulatory approvals. This breach exposed sensitive personal information, undermining compliance with China’s strict data localization and protection laws. The case highlights the government’s zero-tolerance stance on data mismanagement, particularly for multinational corporations operating in China. Authorities emphasized that such violations threaten national data security and social stability, reinforcing the urgency of the newly implemented National Cybersecurity Incident Reporting Management Measures. The financial and reputational fallout for Dior serves as a warning to other foreign entities about the critical need for adherence to China’s evolving cybersecurity framework, where non-compliance risks severe legal penalties and operational disruptions.
Dior	Cyber Attack	85	4	6/2024	PAR517090325
Rankiteo Explanation : Attack with significant impact with customers data leaks Description: In February 2025, Dior’s official Instagram account was hacked, allowing attackers to post fraudulent content promoting a fake cryptocurrency called ‘Dior Official Coin’ via an external link. While many followers identified the scam early, some were deceived, resulting in financial losses. The breach exploited Dior’s high-profile status and customer trust, leveraging its luxury brand reputation to lend credibility to the fraudulent scheme. The incident highlights a broader trend in 2025 where retail and luxury brands face escalating cyber threats, particularly targeting customer data (e.g., purchase histories, preferences, contact details) for psychological manipulation in phishing attacks. Experts warn that such data—though non-financial—enables hyper-realistic scams, as attackers mimic brand communications to deceive victims. Dior’s case underscores the reputational and financial risks tied to social media compromises, where even temporary control of an account can erode customer trust and facilitate downstream fraud. The attack aligns with a 56% spike in retail cybercrime (per KnowBe4), driven by phishing and AI-enhanced tactics, with the average retail breach costing $3.48 million in 2024. While Dior’s parent company, LVMH, is investing in cybersecurity (e.g., partnerships with Google Cloud), the incident demonstrates how minor vulnerabilities—such as social media account security—can be exploited for high-impact fraud.
SEPHORA	Breach	85	4	07/2019	SEP2372423
Rankiteo Explanation : Attack with significant impact with customers data leaks Description: International beauty retailer Sephora has admitted to a breach of its online users' data, affecting customers in Singapore as well as in other countries including Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines. Some personal information has been exposed to unauthorized third parties, including first and last name, date of birth, gender, e-mail address, and encrypted password. Determining that no credit card information was accessed and that the company had no reason to believe that any personal data has been misused. The security incident was limited to a database serving our Southeast Asia, Hong Kong SAR, and Australia/New Zealand customers who used their online services.

The breach highlights risks associated with long-term data retention, third-party data-sharing vulnerabilities, and the criminal marketplace for stolen data. Attackers may combine exposed purchase histories and addresses with phishing tactics (enhanced by AI) to build detailed identity profiles for fraud, identity theft, or targeted attacks.

Title: China Enforces New Cybersecurity Incident Reporting Rules with Strict Deadlines

Description: From November 1, 2024, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) will enforce its **National Cybersecurity Incident Reporting Management Measures**, requiring Chinese network operators to report serious cyber incidents within **60 minutes** (or **30 minutes** for 'particularly major' events). The rules apply broadly to 'network operators'—any entity owning, managing, or providing network services—and mandate rapid disclosure of incidents threatening national security, social stability, or involving large-scale data breaches (e.g., >100 million personal records) or prolonged outages (e.g., government/news websites offline for >24 hours). Operators must submit initial reports with detailed incident specifics (systems affected, attack timeline, vulnerabilities, ransom demands, etc.) and a **30-day postmortem** analyzing root causes and lessons learned. Non-compliance risks severe penalties, including fines for late, false, or concealed reporting. The CAC has established multiple reporting channels (hotline, website, WeChat, email) to ensure compliance. This follows a recent fine against **Dior Shanghai** for unlawful cross-border data transfers without encryption or proper disclosure.

Title: Dior Shanghai Administrative Penalty for Unlawful Cross-Border Transfer of Personal Information

Description: On September 9, 2025, Dior (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. was publicly sanctioned in China for unlawfully transferring personal information (PI) overseas without completing required security assessments, obtaining separate user consent, or implementing necessary technical safeguards like encryption. This marks the first administrative penalty in China for unlawful cross-border PI transfers, signaling a shift from rulemaking to active enforcement under the Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL). The case underscores the need for multinational companies (MNCs) to reassess and localize their data compliance frameworks in China to meet increasingly stringent regulatory requirements. The investigation was triggered by a data breach reported in May 2025, where users in China received official warning messages from Dior. The penalty details were not disclosed, but the case highlights critical compliance gaps in cross-border data transfer mechanisms, user consent practices, and technical safeguards.
