Le Slip Français, a prominent French underwear brand, disclosed a cyberattack on April 15, resulting in the theft of customer data. The breach compromised personal information such as names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses, but not account passwords or payment details. The company promptly filed a complaint and notified the CNIL (Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés), France’s data protection authority.
While Le Slip Français did not specify the exact number of affected customers, it acknowledged that a partial listing of customer account data was stolen and possibly leaked on the dark web. Reports suggest that the leaked database purportedly contains 1.5 million email addresses and details of over 696,000 customers. However, the authenticity of this data remains unconfirmed. In response, the company urged impacted users to update their account passwords as a precautionary measure.
Despite the cyberattack, Le Slip Français assured customers that the breach had been contained, and measures were in place to monitor for potential fraudulent activities. Additionally, the company communicated directly with affected customers, providing detailed information about the incident and advising them on necessary steps to safeguard their accounts. As investigations continue, Le Slip Français remains committed to prioritizing customer privacy and security in the aftermath of the breach.
