adidas.com taken down after a 'sophisticated cyber-attack'

[Jack]

On November 3, 2011, the adidas Group found out that it was the target of a sophisticated, criminal cyber-attack. Our preliminary investigation has found no evidence that any consumer data is impacted. But, while we continue our thorough forensic review, we have taken down affected sites, including adidas.com, reebok.com, miCoach.com, adidas-group.com and various local eCommerce shops, in order to protect visitors to our sites.

Since learning about the issue, we have put in place a number of additional data security measures. The changes reflect enhancements to the high standards consumers have come to expect from the adidas Group and its brands.

Nothing is more important to us than the privacy and security of our consumers' personal data. We appreciate your understanding and patience during this time.

This is the reason why even trusted website could led to a compromise website and as users we need to prepare for any untoward incident.
