Infosys McCamish Systems disclosed that the LockBit ransomware attack it suffered earlier this year impacted sensitive information of more than six million individuals.
In February 2024, IMS informed the public that it had been hit by a ransomware in November 2023, which resulted in the compromise of the personal data of about 57,000 Bank of America customers.
At the time, LockBit claimed the attack and said that it had encrypted 2,000 computers on the IMS network.
In a new notification shared with the authorities in the U.S., IMS now says the total number of people affected by the November 2023 ransomware attack is a little over 6 million.
"With the assistance of third-party eDiscovery experts, retained through outside counsel, IMS proceeded to conduct a thorough and time-intensive review of the data at issue to identify the personal information subject to unauthorized access and acquisition and determine to whom the personal information relates," reads the notification.
IMS' notice mentions that the list of impacted data owners, currently only listing OLAC, may be supplemented on a rolling basis as more customers request to be named in the filing.
