Women's clothing and lingerie retailer Victoria's Secret says it had to take down its website and suspend some in-store services as a precaution in response to a "security incident"

"Our team is working around the clock to fully restore operations," a message on the company's website reads. "We appreciate your patience during this process. In the meantime, our Victoria’s Secret and PINK stores remain open and we look forward to serving you."

It remains unclear what the nature of the cybersecurity issue is, or whether something like a cyberattack may have been responsible for the disruption, but the company is reportedly working with third-party experts to investigate the issue.
