Victoria's Secret took its US website offline and shut down its online customer service operations on Wednesday after what it called a security incident. It's the latest in a string of cyber attacks that have hit retailers around the world.

As of Thursday afternoon, the clothing and lingerie seller's US website was replaced with a note to customers saying it was aware of the incident and dealing with it, adding the website and some services were temporarily shut down as a precaution.

This is jest another example of a Top Secret access flaw in a supposedly Secure Restraint System for valuable pubic assets.

(Laz got their points.)

Attacking the website would require shifting focus away from eating.

Apparently it was a tit for tat attack that exposed private information.

Obese and trannies are deeply disturbed and saddened.
