Data of more than 35 Million Breached in VF Leak
VF Corporation is a 125-year-old, $6 billion dollar clothing conglomerate based out of Denver. Popular brands under its umbrella include Dickies, JanSport, North Face, Supreme, Timberland, Vans, and more.
During the leadup to the holiday shopping season, on December 13, 2023, VF learnt that its systems had been breached. Aside from disruptions to its business operations, personal data belonging to more than 35 million of its customers was hacked, according to an 8-K/A filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Last month the hacker group AlphV/BlackCat claimed responsibility, which may mean ransomware and extortion were involved.
The company also said that the threat actor was ejected from VF’s IT systems on December 15, 2023, and that it has since restored all impacted systems. Following the shutdown of systems to contain the attack, the company was unable to replenish retail store inventory and order fulfillment was delayed, which resulted in order cancellations, reduced demand on certain web stores, and the delay of some wholesale shipments.
