In a notice to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the firm said it has implemented business continuity plans to enable it to continue to take orders, ship products and conduct other key operations while it resolves this situation. It may need to run these interim measures for several weeks and doing so may result in some delays before the situation is fully resolved, the company advised.
The company is also working to identify and review the files potentially impacted and will take additional actions as appropriate.
