Customer information at Cartier compromised due to data breach

Scalpel and Ink: Navigating the Cartier Digital Heist

Posh jeweler Cartier suffered a cyber-mugging. According to gossip from June 2nd and 3rd, 2025, swanky client data such as name, email, and residential location got swiped. Cartier's spilled the beans to customers about the shindig via email. Scalpel and Ink Law Firm have some juicy correspondence relating to the Cartier data code red. It remains unclear if the data has been put to nefarious use. Data breeches like the one at Cartier can lead to compensation claims - even if the data just walked out the door. TheSupreme Court (BGH) confirmed this in a blockbuster decision in November 2024 in the Facebook case. Scalpel and Ink Law Firm stand ready to aid affected Cartier clients with a free preliminary assessment in the Cartier Online Check-up. The law dogs have already secured compensation of up to 3,000 euros per person in comparable cases - like the Facebook data leak.

What went down in the Cartier data code red?

From rumors brewing at CHIP and BleepingComputer, hackers zoomed their way into Cartier's IT fortress and usurped customer data. In warning letters, Cartier admitted under duress that hackers had nosed their way into their systems and snatched information such as names, email addresses, and home addresses. However, Cartier vowed to their customers that sensitive data, like passwords and financials, remained untouched. Still, the company cautioned against possible phishing traps and advised increased vigilance.

More fancy brands behaving badly

The Cartier code red is part of a string of IT disasters plaguing the fashion industry. Over the past few weeks, other globetrotting companies such as Dior, Adidas, and Victoria's Secret have also blared alarm about data breeches.

At Dior, both contacts and purchasing preferences got hijacked.
At Adidas, email addresses and phone numbers got plundered.
Victoria's Secret was forced to briefly shutter its digital empire after an attack.

These fashion faux pas reveal that even big-name brands aren't impervious to data breeches. Customers risk getting branded as marks for fraud, phishing, or identity theft thanks to the liberated info.

BGH and EuGH elevate consumer rights in data breeches

Scalpel and Ink Law Firm believe the odds of scoring compensation are looking sharp. The Supreme Court (BGH) ruled on November 18, 2024 (Az. VI ZR 10/24) that the loss of hold on personal data can qualify as damage under Art. 82 DSGVO. For the affected, this means:

Proving concrete misuse ain't necessary.
Losing possession alone might be enough to claim non-material damages.
Extra-sensitive data - like ID copies - could lead to larger compensation.

The European Court (EuGH) has also held in several rulings that non-material damages such as anxiety about data misuse, loss of trust, and stigmatization are compensable.

In comparable cases - such as Facebook, MasterCard, or Samsung - our hounds have won case after case, securing damages ranging from a few hundred to over 3,000 euros.
