Fashion retailer Guess last week confirmed that the personal data of some customers was compromised in a ransomware attack it suffered in February 2021.
The incident, Guess says, was discovered on February 19.
In addition to attempting to encrypt files on the organization's systems and disrupt its operations, the adversaries were able to access "Certain Guess systems between February 2, 2021 and February 23, 2021.".
In the data breach notification filing, Guess revealed that a total of 1,304 individuals are believed to have been affected in the incident, including four Maine residents.
The fashion retailer also says that it has implemented additional measures to improve its network security and mitigate the risks of similar incidents occurring in the future.
DarkSide apparently shut down operations following the attack on Colonial Pipeline, but before doing so, they claimed to have stolen 200 Gb of files from the fashion retailer.
