Hasbro has disclosed that it was the victim of a cyberattack this week, forcing them to shut down some of its systems. Hasbro submitted a disclosure to the US Securities and Exchange Commission today that it detected an intrusion on March 28th. Hasbro took down several of systems as a response, including parts of Hasbro's website. TechCrunch reached out to Hasbro for more details about the attack, and received a response that Hasbro had "taken swift action to protect our systems and data" but declined to give specifics on the attack. Per TechCrunch, it could take several weeks for the incident to be resolved and Hasbro is unsure whether any data was stolen. An investigation is ongoing.
A quick review of Dungeons & Dragons' two key websites - D&D Beyond and the new D&D homepage - indicates that there have been no outages. From our (admittedly brief) perusal, the downed systems appear to be related to Hasbro proper and not its Wizards of the Coast subsidiary. However, users of any Hasbro website should be cognizant of the cyberattack as the full breadth of what information (if any) was compromised has yet to be seen.
