Burton
Snowboards,
a
favorite
brand
for
downhill
shredders
and
X-Games
fans
everywhere,
has
closed
down
its
e-commerce
operations
due
to
a
“cyber
incident”
that
occurred
earlier
this
week.
In
an
online
system-outage
update,
the
Burlington-based
company
noted
that
a
Feb.
14
attack
continues
to
impact
“some
of
our
operations,”
and
added,
“we
are
working
closely
with
third-party
specialists
to
investigate
the
incident
and
determine
the
full
nature
and
scope.”
Other
details
are
scant
to
nonexistent.
But
as
of
press
time,
the
outdoor
outfitter
still
wasn’t
able
to
process
online
orders
three
days
after
the
attack
—
a
decidedly
unfortunate
state
of
affairs
heading
into
the
core
North
American
ski
season.
It
did
however
have
recommendations
for
those
who
need
some
gnarly
gear
fast:
Simply
visit
a
Burton-purveying
store,
or
use
its
new
gear-rental
service,
which
will
see
returnable
snowboards,
boots,
bindings,
and
outerwear
delivered
to
one’s
doorstep.
