Levi Strauss disclosed a data breach after hackers used social engineering to manipulate three employees into surrendering access to their work computers. The attackers extracted corporate files before being detected and shut out. No consumer data was compromised, and business operations weren't disrupted.

The San Francisco-based denim giant filed the incident with the SEC, saying in the filing — signed by senior vice president and general counsel David Jedrzejek — that it does not believe the incident will materially affect its business strategy, operations, financial condition or results of operations. The exact manipulation method — whether phishing, vishing, or impersonation — hasn't been confirmed. Levi Strauss joins over 200 companies targeted by similar social engineering attacks in just the past five weeks.
