"VF Corp Disrupted by Cyberattack, Online Operations Impacted"

VF Corporation, a company that owns and operates some of the biggest apparel and footwear brands, has recently been hit by a ransomware attack that included the theft of sensitive corporate and personal data.  VF Corp said the hackers disrupted business operations, including its ability to fulfill e-commerce orders, and hijacked data from the company, including personal data.  The company did not provide additional details on the stolen data or whether third-party customer data was exposed.  VF Corp noted that it is currently working to bring the impacted portions of its IT systems back online and implement workarounds for certain offline operations to reduce disruption to its ability to serve its retail and brand e-commerce consumers and wholesale customers.  The mega-corporation, which owns brands that include The North Face, Vans, Timberland, Smartwool, and Dickies, said its retail stores around the world remain open but warned that it is experiencing “certain operational disruptions.”
