US EditionNike Investigating Mega Security Breach as Hackers Claim to Have Stolen 1.4TB of Data
Nike investigates 1.4TB theft of internal design data by WorldLeaks, a group known for file theft over encryption, with no customer or employee personal information exposed.
- Nike is investigating claims that WorldLeaks, a cyber extortion group, posted 1.4TB of its internal design and manufacturing data, with the company stating, it's "investigating a potential cyber security incident and actively assessing the situation."
- Researchers say WorldLeaks is a rebrand of Hunters International, which shifted from encrypting files to data-theft and extortion-only attacks.
- Shared directories posted to underground forums included Women's Sportswear, Men's Sportswear, Training Resource- Factory, and Garment Making Process; the extortion gang claimed nearly 190,000 files, but BleepingComputer could not independently verify the files while Nike did not confirm or deny the claims.
- WorldLeaks removed Nike's entry before publication, which reporting said may indicate negotiation or payment, while its victim list includes Dell, U.S. Marshals Service, Tata Technologies, Hoya, AutoCanada, and Austal USA.
- Researchers linked affiliates to a July breach of Dell's product-demo platform and exploiting SonicWall SMA 100 devices to install an OVERSTEP rootkit.
