Bose Corporation has disclosed a data breach following a ransomware attack that hit the company's systems in early March.
The audio maker hired external security experts to restore impacted systems after the attack and forensic experts to determine if any of its data was accessed or exfiltrated by the attackers.
While investigating the ransomware's attack impact on its network, the audio maker discovered that some of its current and former employees' personal information was accessed by the attackers.
"Based on our investigation and forensic analysis, Bose determined, on April 29, 2021, that the perpetrator of the cyber-attack potentially accessed a small number of internal spreadsheets with administrative information maintained by our Human Resources department," Bose said.
While Bose did not find confirmation of the threat actors' behind the incident exfiltrating data out of its network, the company says the attackers were able to interact with "a limited set of folders."
"Bose has engaged experts to monitor the dark web for any indications of leaked data, and has been working with the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation," the audio maker said.
