Dick's Sporting Goods on Wednesday said that it was the victim of a cyberattack, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing.

The sporting goods chain said in a regulatory filing that on Aug. 21 it "discovered unauthorized third-party access to its information systems, including portions of its systems containing certain confidential information."

The company said it immediately "activated its cybersecurity response plan and engaged with its external cybersecurity experts to investigate, isolate and contain the threat."

The company said it also notified federal law enforcement regarding the incident and that the investigation is "ongoing."

Woke Company, they don’t have any of my information. Not that other institutions haven’t already been hacked and my info is out there on on the dark web. I put credit safety freezes on all three credit agencies per recommendations of the “experts”

I guess from an Internet perspective, Dicks has been cut off.

The hackers changed all references in their databases to the corporate name "Dick's" to "Chicks With Sticks".

March 20, 2020 article:
Dick’s Sporting Goods will stop selling guns at 440 more stores
By Hannah Zhang, CNN Business.

Dick’s Sporting Goods will stop selling guns at 440 additional stores this year, escalating the company’s methodical elimination of firearms from its stores.

The move follows a series of decisions at Dick’s beginning a few days after the Parkland, Florida, school shooting in February 2018.
That went well: Overall sales increased at those stores. The company then pulled guns and ammunition from 125 additional stores in March 2019.

Now Dick’s plans to nearly quadruple the number of stores without guns, the company announced during its fourth-quarter earnings report Tuesday.

Dick’s (DKS) CEO Edward Stack told analysts in March 2019 that the company would treat gun control “as a multi-year initiative,” and that he expected to remove guns from more stores in 2020..

Walmart remains the world’s largest gun retailer.
