L'Opticienne Verte: 13,039 customers exposed after a cyberattack

On 27 April 2026, L'Opticienne Verte — a French brand selling eco-friendly, artisanal eyewear online — was named in a data-leak claim circulated on breach-tracking outlets. A threat actor allegedly put up a database of 13,039 customer records said to originate from the retailer's e-commerce platform.

The exact intrusion method was never established. No attack vector was disclosed, no threat actor was publicly named, and no ransom or extortion demand was reported. As with many small online merchants, the brand handles the personal data needed for orders, delivery and customer service, which is the type of information that appears in the claimed dataset.

The leaked records reportedly contained:

• Full names
• Email addresses
• Phone numbers
• Postal addresses and postal codes
• Dates of birth

The claim remains unconfirmed. No official disclosure has verified the authenticity of the dataset or the circumstances of any compromise, and L'Opticienne Verte has contacted relevant bodies to state that there was no intrusion and that the data in question is not theirs. If genuine, the combination of contact details and personal data would expose customers to targeted phishing, brand-impersonation scams and identity-theft attempts. The incident emerged amid a wider wave of leaks affecting French opticians and eyewear retailers in the same period.
