Victoria’s Secret’s Cyber Slip: When Lingerie Meets Lousy Security

Victoria’s Secret is facing a security incident so hush-hush even their website had to take a breather. While their stores remain open, recovery might stretch longer than a bad blind date. Will the security breach be the new black? Stay tuned!

Hot Take:

Looks like Victoria’s Secret has a new line of cyber lingerie, but it’s not the kind they wanted to launch! With their website taking a breather and store services on pause, it seems like even lingerie needs a digital detox every now and then. While the company plays hide and seek with hackers, customers are left with more questions than answers. It’s a fashion faux pas on a digital runway!

Key Points:

  • Victoria’s Secret took down its website due to a security incident.
  • Store services are partially affected, but physical stores remain open.
  • CEO Hillary Super warns that recovery may be slow.
  • The cause of the incident, possibly a ransomware attack, is still under wraps.
  • Other fashion giants like Dior and Adidas have faced similar cyber woes recently.
