   Victoria’s Secret has a cybersecurity incident ongoing, I understand a ransomware group got into the network.

     Looks like word got out amongst investors a day ago as they started selling.

     One notable with the retailer incidents, they get attacker impact about two weeks before financial results go live. Obvious extortion tactic.

     Meanwhile, staff are busy finding out what is happening on Reddit. It’s really common in ransomware incidents for companies to realise their staff comms system doesn’t work when they have no way to log in to an out of band system.

     Meanwhile, there’s other Victoria’s Secrets staff on Reddit assuring customers it’s not a cybersecurity incident but a system update.

     Meanwhile, their website has been updated to say security incident.

     Have a ransomware/extortion comms plan.
