Hasbro said on Wednesday that is was investigating a cybersecurity incident after identifying unauthorized access to its network on March 28.<\/p>\n

The Rhode Island-based toymaker said the breach was achieved with \u200bhelp from third-party cybersecurity \u200bprofessionals.<\/p>\n

The company revealed the incident during a regulatory filing on Wednesday with the U.S. Securites and Exchange Commission.<\/p>\n

Hasbro said it had taken some of its systems offline and was using temporary measures to keep processing orders and shipping products.<\/p>\n

The company did not provide specifics about the cybersecurity incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe company\u2019s investigation is ongoing, and it is working diligently to resolve the matter and determine the full scope of impact,” Hasbro said in its filing.<\/p>\n

Hasbro said the need to use interim measures could continue for several weeks \u201cbefore the situation is fully resolved,\u201d the company wrote in its filing.<\/p>\n

Hasbro added that the measures could result in some delays.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Company is also working to identify and review the files potentially impacted and will take additional actions as appropriate based on its review and findings, including providing any notifications deemed necessary under applicable law,\u201d Hasbro wrote.<\/p>\n

Hasbro, currently based in Pawtucket, was founded on Dec. 6, 1923 by Henry, Hillel and Herman Hassenfeld.<\/p>\n

The toymaker is known for producing popular brands Transformers and Play-Doh, and games like \u201cMonopoly,\u201d \u201cMagic: The Gathering\u201d and \u201cDungeons & Dragons.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company first sold textile remnants before selling pencil boxes. The company\u2019s first line of toys, doctor and nurse kits, were produced in 1940.<\/p>\n

Classic toys sold by the company were Mr. Potato Head in 1952, and G.I. Joe in 1964. My Little Pony debuted in 1983, followed by Transformers the following year, according to the company\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

Hasbro is planning to move its corporate headquarters from Pawtucket to Boston\u2019s seaport district. WPRI reported.<\/p>\n
