Nike Probes Alleged Ransomware Incident

Nike’s global headquarters in Beaverton is currently in the spotlight due to reports of a potential ransomware attack. The sportswear powerhouse announced on Friday that they are delving into a cybersecurity breach. According to Cyberdaily, the hacking group known as World Leaks threatens to unveil portions of Nike’s data unless a ransom is settled within 48 hours.

Nike has reassured the public, stating, “We are committed to safeguarding consumer privacy and data security.” The company’s team is actively investigating the incident and keeping a close eye on the situation. For now, it’s unclear what specific data, if any, might be compromised.

Interestingly, this echoes a recent event where Under Armour experienced an attack from another ransomware group. In that breach, sensitive details, including names, email addresses, genders, birth dates, and customer purchase particulars, were reportedly exposed, as covered by TechCrunch.
