Cartier just got hit. So did The North Face.
Not exactly fly-by-night operations. These are brands with billion-dollar reputations—and hackers still got in.
Customer data stolen. Systems compromised. Public announcements trying to minimize the damage. The usual script.
And it’s not just them.
Adidas. Victoria’s Secret. Harrods. M&S. The Co-op. The list keeps growing, like a guest list for a cybersecurity funeral.
So here’s the question I want you to ask yourself:
If companies with enterprise-grade IT teams and multimillion-dollar cybersecurity budgets are getting hit—what makes you think you’re not already next?
This isn’t fear-mongering. It’s your Friday morning reality check.
Because if you have data, you’re a target.
Not financial data? Doesn’t matter.
Cartier and North Face didn’t lose credit cards. They lost names and email addresses.
That’s all it takes.
That’s enough for a phishing attack. Enough to destroy trust. Enough to drag your brand through the mud. And more than enough to open the door to a lawsuit.
So what can you do?
Start by finding out what your attackers already know.
Get a third-party to look under the hood.
Not your internal team. Not your IT guy. Not the people who built your systems in the first place.
Let’s be blunt: you don’t ask the person who wrote the paper to grade it.
They can’t see their own blind spots. They don’t know where the skeletons are buried. And when something goes wrong, guess what—they’re the ones on the defense stand.
You need a Level 1 Penetration Test.
It’s not a full-blown crisis exercise. There’s no ransom. No downtime. No system wipe.
Just clarity.
We’ll tell you what an attacker would find if someone on your team clicked the wrong link. We’ll show you the digital open windows you forgot to lock. And we’ll do it before a hacker does it for you—with interest.
Because when your data walks out the door, your reputation follows.
Cartier learned that the hard way. So did North Face. So will the next name on the list.
Don’t let it be yours.
