Luxury group Kering has confirmed that it was the object of a cyber-attack earlier this year.

Hackers told the BBC that they had stolen the names, email addresses and phone numbers of millions of Kering customers.

The company has confirmed that the data breach occurred but said no card details had been stolen. It said it had been in touch with customers affected to let them know what had happened.

It told the BBC it had refused to pay a ransom demand.
