Kering said some of its luxury-fashion brands suffered a data breach in which details of customers were stolen.
The hackers accessed clients' private details in June, the French luxury group said Tuesday. Kering--which owns Gucci, Balenciaga and Alexander McQueen, among other luxury brands--didn't say which of its brands were hit by the cyberattack.
Kering declined to comment on the type of data that was stolen, the name of the cyberattacker or the number of customers affected.
No financial data--including bank account, credit card or government-issued identification information--was exposed in the incident, and affected systems were promptly secured, Kering said. It added that the luxury houses immediately reported the breach to appropriate authorities and notified customers.
Kering isn't the only company to fall victim to hackers this year.
Online operations at Marks & Spencer were disrupted for nearly two months after an April cyberattack that ultimately cost the U.K. retailer 300 million pounds ($407.9 million). Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters, the so-called group behind that breach, later claimed responsibility for an attack earlier this month on Jaguar Land Rover. And Louis Vuitton in July confirmed a personal data breach of its clients.
