Levi Strauss披露社工攻击导致部分公司信息被访问和外泄

Levi Strauss (LEVI.N) on Friday disclosed a recent cybersecurity incident in which an unauthorized third ​party gained access to the company's systems ‌through a social engineering attack targeting three employees.

The apparel maker joins a growing list of major firms worldwide that ​are facing a rise in cyberattacks and ​ransomware incidents that steal sensitive data and ⁠disrupt operations.

Here are some more details:

Levi Strauss said ​in a regulatory filing that it has implemented containment ​measures and launched an investigation, the preliminary findings of which showed that certain corporate information was accessed and ​extracted.

The incident has not disrupted business operations and ​the company does not expect a material impact on its ‌operations ⁠or financial results, it said.

Google and internet intelligence data reviewed by Reuters showed that ransom-seeking hackers who use phone calls to compromise victims targeted ​dozens of prominent ​U.S. financial ⁠institutions and other businesses over the past month. The data indicated ​cybercriminals created digital traps for more than ​200 ⁠companies in the past five weeks, including Levi Strauss.

Levi's had raised its annual net sales forecast last ⁠month, ​betting that demand for its ​premium denim products would remain resilient among higher-income consumers.
