Hasbro Faces Weeks-Long Downtime Following Cyber Attack

Toys giant Hasbro, parent company of iconic brands including Transformers and Dungeons & Dragons, has fallen victim to a significant cyber attack that is expected to impact operations for several weeks.

The incident was first detected on March 28, prompting an immediate response from the company.

Investigation and Recovery Efforts

According to regulatory filings, Hasbro has implemented business continuity plans to mitigate the disruption to its order fulfillment and product shipping processes.

While specific details about the nature of the attack remain scarce, the company has acknowledged that certain parts of its website have become inaccessible due to ongoing maintenance.

“We take this situation very seriously and are working closely with our partners and experts to resolve the issue as quickly as possible,” a spokesperson for Hasbro said in a statement.

“Our top priority remains ensuring the safety and security of our customers’ information and we will provide updates on the status of our recovery efforts as more information becomes available.”
