On 1 February 2026, Darty.com (Kitchen) — the kitchen design service of the French electronics retailer Darty (Fnac Darty group) — was hit by a data leak affecting 79,164 customers. The stolen records appeared for sale on the dark web that day, though Darty did not begin notifying affected customers until 17 February.
The breach did not stem from Darty's own systems. Attackers compromised an external service provider that hosted an appointment-scheduling tool used for kitchen design consultations, making this the third incident tied to a Darty supplier since 2018. The exposed data did not include passwords or banking details.
Information exposed included:
- Full names
- Postal addresses
- Email addresses
- Phone numbers
- Housing type and kitchen project details (budget, number of appliances)
Because the leaked dataset combines contact details with home addresses and kitchen project specifics, security observers warned it provides ready material for highly targeted phishing and social-engineering scams. Darty reported the incident to France's data protection authority (CNIL), filed a police complaint, and stated the breach had been contained, while advising customers to stay alert to fraudulent communications.
