NEW YORK — Victoria's Secret has taken down its U.S. website and says some in-store services will be unavailable as it addresses an unspecified 'security incident.'
A message to customers remained in place of the popular lingerie brand's normal shopping site Thursday, stating that the company had halted these services 'as a precaution.'
'Our team is working around the clock to fully restore operations,' the message read.
Victoria's Secret did not immediately provide more details about the 'security incident,' or specify whether it was a cyber attack. The Associated Press reached out to the Ohio company for further information on Thursday.
It also wasn't immediately clear when Victoria's Secret identified the issue and began halting some of its operations. Most media reports of Victoria's Secret website going dark emerged Wednesday — when the company also shared an update on social media — but some frustrated customers online said they began experiencing issues earlier in the week.
A customer FAQ updated Wednesday night on Victoria's Secret corporate site noted that it did not have an exact timing regarding the return of its website — and that customer care services were also unavailable.
The company said that it is trying to fulfill orders placed before Monday and that it would be extending return windows and some direct mail coupon offers for impacted customers in the U.S.
Victoria's Secret said its stores, as well as its PINK brand locations, remain open for customers. But some in-store services, such as returning online orders in person, are unavailable per its customer FAQ.
It was not immediately clear if any in-store services in Victoria's Secret locations outside the U.S. were also impacted. But the company's U.K. site appeared uninterrupted Thursday.

Article content Leo Terrell, the head of the federal Task Force to Combat Antisemitism and a Department of Justice adviser, stated that 'this was not an isolated incident.

This must not be normalized.'

Article content Article content Ronald Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress, said that 'the firebombing of a peaceful march in Boulder, Colo.—organized to demand the release of hostages held by Hamas—is horrifying, but it should not come as a surprise.

Supporters of Hamas are now emboldened and threatening towns and cities across America and the democratic world,' Lauder said. 'This attack, like the murders outside the Jewish museum in Washington, is part of a broader wave of hate that is being tolerated far too easily—from college campuses to government halls. Article content 'It is not just the Jewish community that suffers. This violence tears at the very fabric of our societies,' Lauder added.

Article content Article content The ADL Center on Extremism reviewed video footage of the suspect and believes he can be heard saying, 'How many children have you killed,' 'We have to end Zionists' and 'They are killers,' while gesturing 'toward what appears to be the victims of the attack.' Article content Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO and national director of the ADL, said that 'this is the second violent attack on the U.S. Jewish community in two weeks.

The FBI, and the Trump administration, know this foreign-fueled domestic terror must be stopped before more Americans are murdered.'

Tecsys launches TecsysIQ to unlock AI-powered insights in healthcare supply chain
Embedded Databricks capabilities accelerate healthcare supply chain analytics and AI workloads. NASHVILLE, Tenn. , June 2, 2025 /CNW/ -- Tecsys Inc. (TSX: TCS), a global leader in supply chain management solutions, today announced the launch of TecsysIQ™, a cloud-native intelligence layer that helps healthcare organizations unify fragmented data and deliver AI-powered insights across clinical, operational and financial systems. Built on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, TecsysIQ delivers a modern analytics foundation that accelerates the development of AI-enabled applications and data-driven decision-making that improve patient care and strengthen health system performance. By nature, healthcare supply chains span multiple systems and stakeholders. This complexity can make it difficult to access the right information at the right time. With its integrated data intelligence and advanced analytics, TecsysIQ enables health systems to bring together data from across EHRs, ERPs, inventory systems, procurement platforms and trusted third-party sources into a single, governed environment for better forecasting, planning and response. "Healthcare supply chains have long struggled with data trapped in silos and outdated systems," said Rex Ahlstrom , chief strategy officer at Tecsys. "TecsysIQ closes that gap by delivering timely, contextual insights into the hands of supply chain, clinical and finance leaders so they can make decisions that improve both operational and patient outcomes. By combining Databricks' world-class data engineering capabilities with Tecsys' domain leadership in healthcare, we're enabling a powerful new layer of intelligence for health systems." TecsysIQ fully supports federated lakehouse architectures for discovery, querying, and governance of distributed data, as well as simplified sharing for use in external data and business intelligence reporting platforms. With Delta Sharing, TecsysIQ is able to share live data across platforms, clouds and regions with strong security and governance. Leveraging AWS Bedrock, TecsysIQ provides secure access to foundational large language models for generative AI use cases within a governed architecture. With embedded machine learning and predictive intelligence, TecsysIQ enables healthcare organizations to: Improve clinical service levels by anticipating demand shifts and material constraints Automate data harmonization across siloed systems and departments Incorporate trusted third-party data inputs to enhance forecasting and planning Accelerate response time to disruptions, recalls and public health events Reduce reliance on manual workarounds and spreadsheets Optimize resource utilization while maintaining compliance and patient safety "Healthcare supply chains generate massive amounts of data, but turning that data into true data intelligence requires the right architecture," said Mike Sanky , VP of Healthcare and Life Sciences GTM at Databricks. "Traditional reporting methods can't keep up with the complexity and speed required by today's healthcare supply chains. By partnering with Tecsys, we're empowering health systems to harness the full potential of their data through a unified analytics and AI platform. This enables smarter, faster decision-making — precisely when it matters most to deliver exceptional performance." "TecsysIQ reflects our vision for the future of healthcare supply chain decision-making," said Peter Brereton , president and CEO of Tecsys. "It's not just about reporting on what happened — it's about delivering the operational intelligence needed to act with precision in the moment." Tecsys is working with a number of healthcare providers to provide early access to the platform with general availability planned for later this year.
