Victoria’s Secret Temporarily Shuts Down Website Following Cybersecurity Incident

Victoria’s Secret (VSCO.N) revealed on Tuesday that it experienced a cybersecurity breach affecting its information technology systems, prompting the company to temporarily shut down its website for approximately three days in late May.

Although the incident did not affect the company’s financial performance for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, Victoria’s Secret announced that it will delay the release of its quarterly financial results.

The lingerie retailer took swift action by suspending its corporate systems and e-commerce platform on May 26 to contain and eliminate unauthorized access. The website was fully restored by May 29.

The security breach also disrupted certain operations at Victoria’s Secret and PINK retail stores, but these issues have since been resolved.

Victoria’s Secret joins other retailers like Marks & Spencer (MKS.L) and luxury jeweler Cartier, which recently faced similar cybersecurity challenges that impacted their online shopping services.
