Nike Investigates Data Breach After Hackers Leak Over 1.4TB of Files

Nike has confirmed it is investigating a cybersecurity incident
after the cybercrime group WorldLeaks claimed to have stolen and leaked internal company files on the dark web.

The allegedly leaked data includes:

• Internal corporate documents
• Product design and development information
• Business plans, materials, and strategic data

While there is currently no confirmation that customer or employee data was exposed,
this incident highlights a critical shift in today’s threat landscape:

Data extortion is becoming the primary threat — replacing traditional ransomware.

Key takeaway for organizations:

“Even if your files aren’t encrypted, leaked data is an immediate business risk.”

In 2026, the question is no longer:
Will we be attacked?

but rather:
How quickly can we detect it — and how effectively can we limit the damage?
