Gucci, Balenciaga and Alexander McQueen Breach Linked to ShinyHunters

ShinyHunters reportedly accessed Kering systems in April 2025 and exfiltrated millions of customers' personal records (including names, emails, phone numbers, addresses and purchase histories) across brands such as Gucci, Balenciaga and Alexander McQueen; Kering discovered the incident in June 2025, confirmed the breach, notified authorities and customers, and says no payment/card data were taken. The group claims 7.4 million unique email addresses; reporting includes alleged ransom negotiation screenshots and possible collaboration with Scattered Spider, raising significant risk of targeted spear-phishing, scams, and social-engineering attacks against high-value customers.
