Victoria’s Secret is postponing the launch of its quarterly revenue after a security breach that interrupted the popular Corporate Operations of the Loss brand and led it to demolish its North -American purchasing site for several days last week.
In a Tuesday update, Victoria’s Secret said that he first detected a “security incident involving its information technology systems” on May 24 and immediately went to response protocols in effects “to contain and eradicate access to the unauthorized network”, which included participation with third party experts.
The Ohio -based retailer added that he temporarily closed corporate systems and their details on May 26 “as a precaution”.
Victoria’s Secret’s website in the United States remained dark for several days later, causing prolonged frustration among buyers.
I wasn’t back in line until Thursday late.
Although not directly confirmed by Victoria’s Secret, the incident involved the badge of a cyberataque involved in Ransomware.
Analysts say that more and more retailers are facing these types of attacks today, and have indicated the extent and duration of the interruptions affecting Victoria Secret’s operations.
Beyond their website, some services were also closed at the Victoria’s Secret Names and Rosa brand locations due to rape.
But on Tuesday, the company said that most of these functions had been restored since.
Victoria’s Secret also said on Tuesday that it still works to completely restore access to its corporate systems, so it delayes its first quarter results, noting that the process “has prevented employees from accessing certain systems and information” necessary to finish and publish the financial report.
However, the company shared some previous results.

Victoria’s Secret did not immediately share a new date for the launch of its first quarter benefits.
Victoria’s Secret maintained that the breach last month did not affect its first quarter results, as the period ended before the breach caused interruptions.
But the company said it would continue to “evaluate the full scope” of the incident, including expenses that could affect future finances.
The “security incident” affecting Victoria’s secret arrives, as more and more companies have reported breaches that disrupt operations and/or expose customer data, especially among retailers.

The cyberattack that struck M&S prevented him from processing online orders and dropped off the hopes of the empty store, and the company estimates that this will cost him £ 300 million ($ 400 million).
And last month, Adidas announced that he had recently become aware of an “unauthorized external part” obtained by some consumer data, which consisted mainly of contact information through a third-party customer service provider.
After any cybersecurity incident affecting a consumer -oriented brand, experts warn that it is important for buyers to be alert.
Defrauders could take the news to promise false promotions using Phishing emails, for example, or using sensitive information that may have been committed.
