Leading snowboard maker Burton Snowboards confirmed notified customers of a data breach after some of their sensitive information was "Potentially" accessed or stolen during what the company described in February as a "Cyber incident."
The attack was discovered by Burton on February 11 after causing a "System outage" and forcing the company to cancel online orders.
Burton advised customers who wanted to buy snowboarding gear to go to a brick-and-mortar Burton store or use its new online rental program.
"The investigation identified a limited number of files and folders as potentially accessed or taken by an unknown actor," Burton told affected customers in notification letters sent last week.
Established in 1977, Burton is now a leading and one of the most well-known snowboard brands, with its products being sold in thousands of stores worldwide.
A Burton Snowboards spokesperson is yet to reply to a request for more info regarding the February "Incident" made by BleepingComputer after the initial disclosure.
