JAKARTA - Nike said it was investigating a suspected data leak, after a ransomware group claimed to have leaked a large amount of the company's internal data.
Where a ransomware group called World Leaks, claimed to have published around 1.4 terabytes of data belonging to Nike related to the company's business operations.

"We take consumer privacy and data security very seriously," Nike said in a statement, citing Reuters. "We are investigating the potential for a cyber security incident and are actively assessing the situation."
Although there has been no verification of the truth of the allegations, Nike declined to disclose details of the investigation, including the possibility of paying a ransom to the hackers.
