CUSTOMERS OF VANS, THE NORTH FACE,
AND OTHER BRANDS PERSONAL DATA POTENTIALLY STOLEN.

VF Corporation, parent company to popular brands including, Vans, The North Face, Timberland, Dickies, JanSport and more, reported that their IT systems were impacted on December 15, 2023 and that some personal data was stolen.

They reported that their computer systems were affected and that personal information was stolen, but they haven't provided any specific details. This is important because cybercriminals commonly use stolen data from these breaches to launch scams, so please be cautious, particularly if you have a loyalty account or have made direct orders through their websites (such as Vans, North Face, Altra, Dickies, etc.). Visit their corporate website for a full list of their brands: www.vfc.com .

Assume that anything you shared with
these brands could be in the hands
of the thieves.

If you stored a credit card, monitor your account closely for any suspicious activity and report it promptly. If you use the same password for any of your online accounts, especially email or social media, update those passwords. According to their SEC 8-K report, the attackers disrupted VF Corporation's operations by encrypting some computer systems and stealing data, including personal information. The company is working to restore the affected systems and find alternative solutions to minimize disruption for customers. VF-operated retail stores are open, but there may be some operational issues. While consumers can still place orders on most brand websites, fulfilling those orders is currently impacted.
