"Xerox Confirms Data Breach at US Subsidiary Following Ransomware Attack"

Printing solutions giant Xerox recently confirmed that its US-based subsidiary Xerox Business Solutions experienced a data breach.  The incident, the company says, was limited to Xerox Business Solutions US and was contained by its cybersecurity team.  The company noted that while the attack did not affect Xerox’s corporate systems and had no impact on the company’s operations or data, the investigation launched into the matter determined that personal information was compromised.  The company has not provided details on whether the incident impacts clients, employees, or partners.  Xerox shared no details on the type of cybersecurity incident its subsidiary fell victim to, but the ransomware gang known as Inc Ransom was quick to claim responsibility for the attack.  On December 30, Inc Ransom listed Xerox on its Tor-based leak site, posting screenshots of documents allegedly stolen from the company, as proof of intrusion.  Since then, however, the entry was taken down, suggesting that Xerox might have engaged in communication with the attackers to prevent the stolen data from being published online.
