American toy-making giant Hasbro has confirmed a cyberattack, and the company says it may take “several weeks” before the incident is resolved.
The owner of properties including Transformers, Peppa Pig, and Dungeons & Dragons said in a legally required disclosure with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday that it detected an intrusion on March 28, which prompted the company to take down some of its systems.
Hasbro said it has implemented and continues to roll out business continuity plans to allow it to “take orders, ship product and conduct other key operations while it resolves this situation.”
Parts of Hasbro’s website appeared down as of Wednesday, when checked by TechCrunch. One error message said the site was “currently undergoing maintenance.”
