Levi Strauss & Co. discloses that an unauthorized third party gains access to certain corporate information after a social-engineering incident. In an Aug. 7 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the company says it recently detects a cybersecurity incident in which an unauthorized party accesses company files. Multiple outlets report that the attackers target employees using social engineering, resulting in access to corporate data stored on employees’ machines. Bleeping Computer reports that the social-engineering approach targets three employees to obtain access and steal corporate data stored locally on those devices. The Oregonian similarly reports that hackers access corporate information through tactics directed at Levi Strauss employees. PYMNTS also notes that the company describes the incident as involving an unauthorized third party accessing company files following the social-engineering scam. Levi Strauss does not provide additional details in the summaries provided, including the specific data types, the full extent of the breach, or whether there is evidence of broader system compromise beyond the affected employee devices. The company treats the matter as a cybersecurity incident and reports it in its regulatory filing.
