Nike is investigating a potential cybersecurity breach after the WorldLeaks hacking group claimed to have stolen company data and threatened to release it publicly. The cybercriminals listed Nike as a victim on their dark web site on January 22, setting a January 24 deadline for data release unless ransom demands are met. WorldLeaks emerged in 2025 after the shutdown of Hunters International ransomware group, shifting focus from file encryption to pure data theft and extortion. The gang has targeted nearly 120 organizations, including Dell earlier this year. Nike hasn't disclosed what type or amount of data was allegedly compromised. The incident follows a similar breach at Under Armour, highlighting ongoing cybersecurity challenges facing major retailers. **Source:** [SecurityWeek](https://www.securityweek.com/nike-probing-potential-security-incident-as-hackers-threaten-to-leak-data/)
