Fashion retail giant Victoria’s Secret is currently grappling with a security incident that has disrupted its website and online order services. The company confirmed the situation in a brief statement posted on its website Wednesday, noting that outages began earlier this week on Monday.
Customers reported being unable to access the Victoria’s Secret website, prompting the company to take swift action. “We immediately enacted our response protocols, third-party experts are engaged, and we took down our website and some in-store services as a precaution,” a company spokesperson told TechCrunch. However, the spokesperson did not disclose their name or provide specific details about the nature of the cybersecurity breach.
Victoria’s Secret emphasized that its physical stores remain open to customers. The company is working diligently to “quickly and securely restore operations” while prioritizing safety and security.
Following the announcement of the security incident, Victoria’s Secret shares closed down 7%, reflecting investor concern over the disruption and its potential impact.
