Hasbro, the American toy manufacturer known for brands like Transformers and Monopoly, has reported a cyberattack that could take “several weeks” to resolve. The company disclosed the incident to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, revealing that it detected an intrusion on March 28, leading to the shutdown of certain systems.
As part of its response, Hasbro has activated business continuity plans to maintain order processing and shipping during the ongoing crisis. Parts of its website were reported as down on Wednesday, displaying messages of maintenance. The company is engaging cybersecurity professionals to secure operations and has not ruled out the possibility that hackers remain within their systems.
Although it remains unclear what type of cyberattack occurred, Hasbro has not confirmed whether data was stolen. The investigation is still underway to assess the full impact of the breach. In its notice to investors, Hasbro cautioned that operational delays are expected as the company navigates through these challenges, emphasizing the importance of their interim measures.
