A preliminary investigation found the leaked data includes contact information, usernames and encrypted passwords, the company said in a statement.

Only consumers who made purchases through adidas.com/US are thought to be affected. Orbitz had announced a breach that exposed around 880,000 credit cards while Panera left millions of its customers' records exposed on its site.

The information breach included usernames, contact information, and encrypted passwords. This week, Adidas became the latest company to suffer a large-scale data breach, joining more than a dozen other corporations with the same problem in the previous year and a half.

The best most can hope for is that their accounts weren't compromised or that they can secure them before they are. adidas is the latest company to announce a major data breach and it affects millions of United States consumers.
