The UK government has issued an apology for leaking the email address of LVMH CEO, Bernard Arnault, in a data breach.
The incident occurred during the preparation for an international investment event hosted by Britain, where other executives' email addresses were also accidentally revealed.
The government admitted to an administrative error and promptly apologized to Arnault and the other affected parties.
The incident highlights concerns about data security and may temporarily damage the UK government's relationship with foreign business partners.
