Hasbro Cyberattack Knocks Systems Offline, Recovery Could Take Weeks

Hasbro disclosed a cyberattack detected March 28 that led the company to take portions of its networks and corporate website offline, engage external cybersecurity professionals, and implement business continuity measures; the company warned recovery could take weeks and said it cannot yet determine whether any data was affected. The report notes no public ransom demands so far, emphasizes potential supply-chain and operational impacts given Hasbro's size and IP holdings, and separately highlights researcher warnings about WhatsApp-based malware targeting Windows PCs.
