Hanesbrands reports a ransomware attack identified in May 2022

Hanesbrands, the apparel company behind Hanes and Champion, disclosed on May 31, 2022 that it had identified a ransomware attack on May 24. The company filed under Item 8.01, the usual route before the SEC created Item 1.05.

What Hanesbrands said

The company said it had notified law enforcement and was cooperating, and that it had engaged legal counsel, a forensic firm and other incident response professionals.

It was candid that it could not yet judge the effect.

What this filing does not cover

The 8-K is short. It does not say which systems were encrypted, whether data was taken, how long operations were affected, or what the recovery cost, and this log holds no follow-up 8-K for the incident.
