VF Corp., the parent company of the popular apparel brands Vans, Supreme, and The North Face, said Thursday that hackers stole the personal data of 35.5 million customers in a December cyberattack.
The Denver, Colorado-based company reported the data breach to regulators in a filing on Thursday.
The filing did not say specifically what kinds of personal data was taken, or if the company yet knows what was stolen.
VF Corp. spokesperson Colin Wheeler did not respond to an email from TechCrunch requesting more information.
VF Corp. previously said the hackers disrupted its operations “by encrypting some IT systems,” implying a ransomware attack.
VF Corporation, the U.S.-based owner of apparel brands including Vans, Supreme, and The North Face, has confirmed a cyberattack has impacted the company’s ability to fulfill orders ahead of Christmas, one of the biggest retail events of the year.
When reached by email, VF Corp. spokesperson Colin Wheeler provided TechCrunch with a statement that echoed the company’s filing with regulators.
In its regulatory filing, VF Corp. warned that the cyberattack would have a “material impact” on its business until its systems are recovered.
VF Corp disclosed the incident on the same day that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s new data breach disclosure rules came into force.
This regulation means that organizations must report cybersecurity incidents, including data breaches, to the federal government’s securities regulator within four business days.
