On or around May 12, 2025, Tiffany and Company, an American luxury jewelry and specialty design house, experienced a significant cybersecurity incident. An investigation was launched and on Sept. 9, 2025, it was determined that a cybercriminal gained accessed to sensitive customer and gift card data.
The data breach compromised personally identifiable information (PII) of at least 2,590 individuals. Exposed information included customer names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, sales transactions, internal client reference numbers and Tiffany gift card numbers with PINs.
A threat actor known as “Market Exchange” claimed responsibility for the breach, posting on a Tor-based dark web marketplace on July 7, 2025. The actor alleged possession of a Tiffany & Co. customer database containing information on approximately 720,000 high-spending female consumers in the United States.
Tiffany & Co. began notifying impacted individuals by mail on Sept. 16, 2025. The data breach was also disclosed to the Maine Attorney General's office on Sept. 16, 2025.
Upon learning of the incident, Tiffany and Company engaged cybersecurity experts to investigate and notified law enforcement.

A breach notice means your personal details could be circulating far beyond the organization involved. One practical step is continuous monitoring: services such as Identity Defender (included with an ExpressVPN subscription) can automatically check dark-web markets, flag new credit-file activity, and request removal of your information from data-broker sites.
This kind of “early-warning system” can’t undo a breach, but it can help you spot misuse quickly and limit further exposure. ExpressVPN is offering 61% off, risk-free for 30 days, with ID Theft Insurance included and no extra cost for those who sign up for one or two years.
