North Face and Timberland retail giant VF hit by cyberattack 

'Unauthorised occurrences' were detected on a portion of the company’s information technology system on December 13, the North Face, Timberland and Vans parent said.

Struggling clothing and footwear retailer VF, which owns the North Face, Timberland, and Vans outlets, said it’s working to restore its ability to fulfill orders following a cyberattack, though the company hasn’t yet determined the full scope of the incident. 

VF retail stores around the world remained open for business and the company says customers can place online orders, but fulfillment has been affected. The company has also put workarounds in place for some offline operations.
