Hasbro said on Wednesday that is was investigating a cybersecurity incident after identifying unauthorized access to its network on March 28.
The Rhode Island-based toymaker said the breach was achieved with help from third-party cybersecurity professionals.
The company revealed the incident during a regulatory filing on Wednesday with the U.S. Securites and Exchange Commission.
Hasbro said it had taken some of its systems offline and was using temporary measures to keep processing orders and shipping products.
The company did not provide specifics about the cybersecurity incident.
“The company’s investigation is ongoing, and it is working diligently to resolve the matter and determine the full scope of impact," Hasbro said in its filing.
Hasbro said the need to use interim measures could continue for several weeks “before the situation is fully resolved,” the company wrote in its filing.
Hasbro added that the measures could result in some delays.
“The Company is also working to identify and review the files potentially impacted and will take additional actions as appropriate based on its review and findings, including providing any notifications deemed necessary under applicable law,” Hasbro wrote.
Hasbro, currently based in Pawtucket, was founded on Dec. 6, 1923 by Henry, Hillel and Herman Hassenfeld.
The toymaker is known for producing popular brands Transformers and Play-Doh, and games like “Monopoly,” “Magic: The Gathering” and “Dungeons & Dragons.”
The company first sold textile remnants before selling pencil boxes. The company’s first line of toys, doctor and nurse kits, were produced in 1940.
Classic toys sold by the company were Mr. Potato Head in 1952, and G.I. Joe in 1964. My Little Pony debuted in 1983, followed by Transformers the following year, according to the company’s website.
Hasbro is planning to move its corporate headquarters from Pawtucket to Boston’s seaport district. WPRI reported.
