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, with general counsel David Jedrzejek stating it won't materially impact the company's finances or strategy. 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.
