The U.S. division of Xerox Business Solutions has been compromised by hackers with a limited amount of personal information possibly exposed, according to a statement by the parent company, Xerox Corporation.
INC Ransom ransomware gang added the corporation to its extortion portal on December 29, claiming to have stolen sensitive data and confidential documents from its systems.
After contacting Xerox about the security incident, the company shared a statement with BleepingComputer over the weekend.
"Recently, Xerox's subsidiary, Xerox Business Solutions, which was detected and contained by Xerox cybersecurity personnel," Xerox said in a statement shared with BleepingComputer.
BleepingComputer has noticed that the Xerox entry has been removed from INC Ransom's leak portal for unknown reasons, usually indicative of resumed negotiations between a victim and the threat actors.
Xerox had previously suffered a ransomware attack in the summer of 2020, when the Maze ransomware group added the company to its list of victims, threatening to publish over 100GB of stolen data.
