Luxury jeweler Cartier has suffered a data breach, compromising the personal information of its customers. In a statement to customers, the company revealed that attackers recently gained access to its systems, stealing names, email addresses, birth dates, and countries of residence.

The attackers managed to breach Cartier's systems, allowing them to access sensitive customer data. The company is now urging customers to be vigilant for any unsolicited communication or suspicious correspondence.

Details of the Breach Remain Unclear

The exact method by which the attackers gained access to Cartier's systems has not been disclosed, nor is it clear how many customers were affected or when the breach was discovered.

In a statement, Cartier apologized for any inconvenience the breach may have caused, stating, "The confidential nature of our relationship with you is very important to us." The company's email to customers added, "We advise you to be alert for any unusual or suspicious activity." The statement also referenced a recent data breach suffered by lingerie brand Victoria's Secret, which had shut down its website in response to the attack.

Faced with the uncertainty of what happened and how to protect themselves, customers are left wondering how Cartier will move forward to prevent such incidents in the future.
