Cultura Data Breach

What happened

In September 2024, French retailer Cultura was the victim of a cyber attack they attributed to an external IT service provider. The resultant data breach included almost 1.5M unique email addresses along with names, phone numbers, physical addresses and orders. Cultura advised that all affected customers had been notified about the incident.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

• Watch for targeted phishing emails referencing Cultura — attackers weaponise breach data quickly.
• Stay alert for smishing (SMS phishing) and SIM-swap attempts using your phone number.
• Exposed identity data raises identity-theft risk — consider credit monitoring or a credit freeze.
• Check whether your email address appears in this breach on haveibeenpwned.com.
