Dollar Tree says earlier report it was hacked ‘inaccurate’

In a statement to The Fly, a Dollar Tree (DLTR) company spokesperson said, “We are aware of claims made by a ransomware group regarding 99 Cents Only Stores. The files referenced in these claims appear to involve former 99 Cents Only employees. Dollar Tree’s involvement with 99 Cents Only Stores is related to the purchase of select real estate lease rights following their closure. We did not acquire their corporate entity, systems/network, or data. Any allegation of Dollar Tree’s involvement is inaccurate.”
