Victoria’s Secret Website Stripped Down by Cyberattack: A Cautionary Tale for Retailers
Victoria’s Secret website hit pause after a cyberattack—turns out hackers want more than just lingerie. While the site recovers, the stores are still open for business. Keep your shields up, retailers; hackers seem to think your data is the next runway must-have!
Hot Take:
Looks like Victoria’s Secret has more than just bras and panties to worry about now—cybercriminals have decided to slip into something a little more… clandestine. While their site is down, perhaps it’s time for a new line of “cyber-secure lingerie” with built-in firewalls. Just imagine: a push-up bra that lifts and separates your network traffic! Until then, shoppers will have to brave the physical stores for their lacy necessities, which might actually be scarier than a ransomware attack.
Key Points:
- Victoria’s Secret website taken down due to a cyberattack.
- Unspecified security incident with potential ransomware involvement.
- Adidas also hit with a cyber incident, compromising customer contact data.
- UK retailers previously targeted by DragonForce ransomware group.
- Google warns US retailers about increasing cyber threats.
