Vans, Supreme, and The North Face are all popular clothing brands owned by VF Corp. On Thursday, the company said that hackers stole the personal information of 35.5 million customers in a cyberattack in December.
In a filing on Thursday, the Denver, Colorado-based company told officials about the data breach. The report didn’t say what kind of personal information was stolen or if the business already knows what was taken. Colin Wheeler, a spokesman for VF Corp., did not answer an email from TechCrunch asking for more details.
VF Corp said that for its consumer businesses, it does not keep track of customers’ Social Security numbers, bank account information, or payment card information. The company also said that it has no proof that hackers stole customers’ passwords.
VF Corp. had said before that hackers had slowed down its business “by encrypting some IT systems,” which sounds like a ransomware attack. It was later reported that the breach was caused by the ransomware and extortion group ALPHV (or BlackCat).
At the time of the incident, VF said that it was having problems with its operations and its “ability to fulfill orders.” In the report it turned in on Thursday, VF said it was “still experiencing minor residual impacts from the cyber incident,” but it had made up for lost time by fulfilling orders.
The business said it “has mostly fixed the IT systems and data that were affected by the cyber incident, but is still dealing with some minor operational effects.”
