US Edition8 Things to Know: Under Armour Investigates Data Breach
Everest ransomware group leaked 72 million customer emails and personal data after failed ransom talks, while Under Armour denies password or payment data theft.
- Late last year, Under Armour, the Baltimore-based sportswear giant, had customer data exposed affecting 72 million email addresses, which Have I Been Pwned added to its database.
- Everest ransomware group says it infiltrated Under Armour last year and leaked 72.2m files after ransom talks failed, including names, emails, birthdates, purchase history, and loyalty details.
- Under Armour said it found no evidence this issue affected UA.com, payment systems, or stored passwords, and Troy Hunt, CEO of Have I Been Pwned, agrees with that assessment so far.
- Legal teams have since filed multiple class actions including a suit by Orvin Ganesh last month and at least three former employees in Maryland, with risks of identity theft warned by experts.
- Despite the leak and reporting, Under Armour has remained publicly silent, its newsroom and social channels do not mention the incident, while telling TechCrunch the probe is `ongoing` months after Everest posted the hack, and CyberInsider notes 76% of emails were already on HIBP.
