Nick Scali (ASX: NCK): security incident; systems taken offline

Nick Scali Limited's 13 August 2026 ASX release says it is investigating a security incident and elected to take certain systems offline. The company said it was bringing those systems back online, continuing to complete sales orders and deliveries, with slower-than-normal customer response times. At the time of the release, Nick Scali said it did not have any evidence of unauthorised access to customer data. It notified the Australian Cyber Security Centre and the Australian Federal Police, and said further updates would follow as appropriate. Secondary media quoting the company (including SMH) describe the event as a cyberattack mid the prior week that forced manual order handling; those reports are consistent with the ASX notice on operational disruption. Separate secondary claims of ransom demands or confirmed customer-data access are not stated in the ASX release and are not treated as verified facts on this desk.
