Levi Strauss reports social‑engineering cyber breach of corporate files

Levi Strauss & Co. disclosed that an unauthorized third party accessed the company’s systems through a social‑engineering attack that targeted three employees’ company‑issued computers. The breach allowed the attackers to view and exfiltrate certain corporate information, though the company says no consumer data was affected and operations were not disrupted.

Levi Strauss has initiated containment measures, launched an internal investigation with third‑party cybersecurity experts, and notified regulators. Preliminary findings suggest the incident will not have a material impact on its financial results. The breach follows a broader wave of attacks on U.S. firms, with Google Threat Intelligence reporting dozens of companies targeted in recent weeks and the FBI warning of increased social‑engineering scams.

The apparel maker recently raised its annual net‑sales forecast, citing resilient demand for premium denim, and says the cyber incident does not alter that outlook.
