Nike Probes Possible Cybersecurity Incident Following Dark Web Claims

Nike is investigating a potential data breach after the extortion group World Leaks claimed on its dark web site to have published 1.4 TB of Nike-related data; the company has not confirmed the breach, the types of data exposed, or whether customers, employees, or partners are affected. World Leaks, which rebranded from Hunters International and shifted from encryption-based ransomware to pure data theft and extortion, has claimed many victims previously and poses a reputational and potential financial risk if the claims are validated.
