Allegation: regular Swarovski account allegedly exposed 103,674 shoppers' records

· 1 min read

A source told FrenchBreaches that a regular Swarovski customer account could pull other shoppers' names, birth dates, postal addresses, emails and some phone numbers, with no passwords or card details. The source claims 103,674 records across 8 countries, led by China, the US and the UK. Swarovski has not confirmed the incident or said whether the flaw is fixed, and FrenchBreaches says the 1,000-row sample alone cannot show the data came from a recent breach.

What happened

A source told FrenchBreaches that a regular Swarovski customer account was enough to pull other shoppers' names, birth dates and postal addresses.

Why it matters

If confirmed, customer personal data is exposed to targeted scams and phishing, with reputational risk for the brand. The absence of passwords and card data lowers direct financial risk, but names, addresses and birth dates still enable targeted fraud.

What to do

Wait for Swarovski's official statement on the case and on whether the flaw is fixed. Advise customers to distrust messages that cite their personal data pending confirmation.
