Cosmetics company data breach affects 340,000 clients
Napoleon Perdis says customer names, dates of birth, email addresses, phone numbers, postal addresses and purchase histories have been accessed in the data breach.
Cosmetics company Napoleon Perdis has experienced a data breach, impacting around 340,000 clients. The breach was disclosed in an email to customers, informing them that their records were compromised by a third-party vendor, Retail Express, in June of 2026. Retail Express revealed that unauthorized access to customer data occurred between November 2025 and June 2026.
Napoleon Perdis confirmed that the breach affected customer records from before June 2025. The unauthorized party gained access to sensitive information, including customers' names, dates of birth, email addresses, phone numbers, postal addresses, and purchase histories. However, the breach did not expose bank account or card details, nor the passwords for Napoleon Perdis' website.
The company's current online store remained unaffected by the incident. Napoleon Perdis urged customers to exercise caution regarding potential scams, such as fraudulent calls or emails pretending to be the company. Moreover, they advised monitoring bank transactions for any suspicious activity. The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner has been informed of the data breach.
