American global apparel and footwear giant VF Corporation, the owner of brands like Supreme, Vans, Timberland, and The North Face, has disclosed a security incident that caused operational disruptions.
In response to the detected unauthorized access on its network, the company shut down some of its systems and brought in external experts to help contain the attack.
"The threat actor disrupted the company's business operations by encrypting some IT systems, and stole data from the company, including personal data," warned VF Corp. It is unclear if the stolen data impacts only employees, suppliers, resellers, partners, or customers.
While the attack bears all the hallmarks of a ransomware attack, at the time of writing this, no ransomware groups have taken responsibility for the incident.
