On Wednesday, Victoria's Secret confirmed that a breach had occurred but did not disclose more information. CNN notes that it is rare for a company of this size to have its website go fully down.

The "security incident" also reportedly affected internal operations. Bloomberg reports that some employees were locked out of their emails.
