Prosecutors are seeking to reform an export model where premium brands sell Italian fashion abroad at luxury prices, even as inexpensive workshops proliferate around Milan and flout labor standards. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/07/17/companies/italy-sweatshops-armani-dior/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #italy #lvmh #armani #dior #humanrights#laborlaws #jobs
La Samaritaine: les chiffres secrets d’un fiasco
Le grand magasin inauguré par Emmanuel Macron en 2021 devait être la vitrine du groupe #LVMH à Paris. Il relève en réalité de la gabegie, avec 110 millions d’euros de pertes en deux ans. LVMH va le placer sous la tutelle du Bon Marché, son autre enseigne parisienne, largement bénéficiaire.

A Milan court placed Italian luxury label Loro Piana SpA under judicial oversight for one year, saying the LVMH-owned label famous for its cashmere clothing did not stop subcontractors from exploiting migrant workers. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/07/15/companies/lvmh-loro-piana-italy-labor/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #luxurygoods #lvmh#loropiana#laborlaws
Devant la Cnil, la Samaritaine plaide la «maladresse» pour ses caméras espion
Le grand magasin parisien de #LVMH a comparu le 3 juillet devant l’autorité administrative pour avoir installé en 2023 des caméras camouflées en détecteurs de fumée dans son sous-sol. Révélée par Mediapart, l’affaire pourrait lui valoir une amende de plusieurs centaines de milliers d’euros.

As expected, more details are emerging in other news outlets about the arrest of #ShinyHunters.
One detail I noted is that ShinyHunters is suspected of being responsible for the attacks on #LVMH, which is the high-end brand associated with Tiffany and Dior, who both reported breaches this year. Although there had been some speculation that #ScatteredSpider might be responsible for those breaches, it appears that ShinyHunters was allegedly responsible.
There have been a number of hacks this year where it is not clear -- in the absence of law enforcement confirmation -- whether a #databreach has been by Scattered Spider or ShinyHunters, or whether they have collaborated with one doing the hacking and the other doing the extortion. I predict in weeks/months to come, we will be given a pretty big list of big hacks that ShinyHunters has been involved in this year.
As I reported in my coverage of the PowerSchool hack and prosecution of Matthew Lane, ShinyHunters' name has been linked to that one, too, but was not named as a co-conspirator.
This is where I should write "This is a developing story..." huh?
