Foxconn Technology Group confirmed Tuesday that a November cyberattack knocked some of its U.S. operations offline.

"We can confirm that an information system in the U.S. that supports some of our operations in the Americas was the focus of a cybersecurity attack on November 29," Foxconn said in a statement on Tuesday.

Confidential Foxconn business documents appear to have been released publicly by the attackers in an attempt to verify that the data systems have been breached.

Foxconn's Chihuahua, Mexico manufacturing facility is used to assemble and ship electronics to the Americas, according to Foxconn.
