Levi Strauss & Co. Reports Cybersecurity Incident; No Consumer Data Impact

What Happened
Levi Strauss & Co. filed an 8-K on August 7, 2026 reporting a cybersecurity incident in which an unauthorized third party used social engineering to gain access to three employees' company-issued computers.

Levi launched response protocols, engaged third-party cybersecurity experts, implemented containment measures, and says it has contained and terminated the unauthorized access. The investigation is ongoing.
