Outdoor apparel brand 'The North Face' was targeted in a large-scale credential stuffing attack that has resulted in the hacking of 194,905 accounts on the thenorthface.com website.

A credential stuffing attack is when threat actors use email addresses/usernames and password combinations obtained from data breaches to attempt to hack into user accounts on other websites.
The success of these attacks relies on the practice of password recycling, where a person uses the same credentials across multiple online platforms.
The credential stuffing attack on The North Face website began on July 26, 2022, but the website's administrators detected the unusual activity on August 11, 2022, and were able to stop it on August 19, 2022.
