Nike Investigates Potential Data Breach Linked to Ransomware Group

Global sportswear giant Nike has confirmed it is investigating a potential data breach following claims by a ransomware group that it gained unauthorized access to company systems.

Although Nike has not disclosed specific details, cybersecurity experts suggest that attackers may have exploited third-party services or compromised credentials to gain initial access. Ransomware groups increasingly target large brands to maximize pressure and financial gain.

Such incidents can have significant reputational and financial impacts, especially when customer data is involved. Organizations are advised to strengthen supply chain security, enforce multi-factor authentication, and conduct regular security assessments.

The investigation is ongoing, and customers are encouraged to remain alert for phishing attempts or suspicious communications.
