Hackers claim breach of Adidas systems - but it says a third-party is the real victim

• Lapsus$ hackers claim Adidas extranet hack
• However Adidas says it was a third-party partner which was breached
• “A lot of technical data” was reportedly exposed in hack

A group of cybercriminals claim to have broken into Adidas and stole sensitive files, but it seems they only broke into a third-party partner company.

Members of the infamous Lapsus$ hacking collective recently posted a new thread on the BreachForums site claiming to have infiltrated the Adidas extranet (a private network that still allows outsiders to access - in this case, third-party partners) and exfiltrated 815,000 rows of sensitive data.

The data, as per the post, included people’s full names, emails, passwords, dates of birth, company, and “a lot of technical data”.
