DICK'S Sporting Goods, the largest chain of sporting goods retail stores in the United States, disclosed that confidential information was exposed in a cyberattack detected last Wednesday.

According to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the company has hired outside cybersecurity experts to help contain the security breach and assess the cyberattack's impact.

"Immediately upon detecting the incident, the Company activated its cybersecurity response plan and engaged with its external cybersecurity experts to investigate, isolate, and contain the threat."
