Nike Says It Is Investigating Possible Data Breach
Extortion group WorldLeaks claims 1.4TB of Nike’s design and manufacturing data stolen, potentially impacting supply chain and wholesale partners, Nike is investigating.
- On Monday, Nike said it is probing a possible breach after WorldLeaks, the extortion crew, claimed to have published 1.4 terabytes of data but has not validated the claim.
- Amid rising law-enforcement pressure, attackers shifted tactics as WorldLeaks rebranded from Hunters International and now threaten leaks instead of encrypting data.
- Published filenames suggest the haul focuses on product development, with WorldLeaks alleging 188,347 files stolen from Nike systems and no customer or employee data involved.
- A Nike spokesperson said `We always take consumer privacy and data security very seriously` but declined to specify what data was stolen or if a ransom would be paid.
- Loss of internal design files could undercut competitiveness as fashion and sportswear firms face breaches like MGM Resorts International’s $100 million hit and Under Armour’s 72.7 million account exposure.
