United Kingdom, June 4 -- Cartier has been hit with a website hack attack.

The luxury-goods conglomerate - which designs, manufactures, distributes, and sells jewellery and watches, among other items - has revealed an "unauthorised party" obtained "limited client information" after its website was hacked.

Cartier said in a statement: "An unauthorised party gained temporary access to our system."

The company has sent an email to some customers informing them about the cyber attack, but Cartier insisted customers' "passwords, credit card details or other banking information" had not been stolen.

Part of the note read: "The affected information did not include any passwords, credit card details or other banking information."
