Nike investigates data breach after extortion gang leaks files

Nike is investigating a potential cyber security incident after the World Leaks extortion group published (then removed) an alleged 1.4 TB dump of corporate files and claimed roughly 190,000 stolen files; Nike has not confirmed the breach. World Leaks is believed to be a rebrand of Hunters International and has been linked to multiple previous data-leak/extortion incidents and to exploitation of SonicWall SMA devices with an OVERSTEP rootkit, signaling an active criminal data-extortion operation.
