Louis Vuitton Korea has stressed that no financial credentials were affected and has urged customers to be cautious of unexpected communications or suspicious messages, reiterating that the company never requests passwords from clients.

The luxury brand emphasized its commitment to confidentiality and trust in customer relationships. Immediate action was taken to halt the breach, and the company has since engaged leading cybersecurity experts to strengthen its system defenses. Authorities were promptly informed, and an internal investigation is underway.

Louis Vuitton Korea extended a formal apology for any inconvenience caused and assured customers that the security and protection of personal information remains its highest priority. They are actively working to prevent similar incidents in the future through enhanced cybersecurity measures and continued vigilance.
