In an SEC filing on Monday evening, Targus International said it discovered that a hacker had gained access to file systems, prompting the company to hire outside cybersecurity consultants.
The company - which has made laptop cases and bags for more than 40 years - has also notified law enforcement of the attack.
Targus is a subsidiary of B. Riley Financial, which noted that no other parts of the company were disrupted by the attack.
B. Riley Financial acquired Targus two years ago for $250 million.
Headquartered in Anaheim, California, Targus operates in 100 countries and produces a variety of tools like docking stations, tablet cases, keyboards and more.
