"Sysco Data Breach Exposes Customer, Employee Data"

In an internal memo sent recently, global food distribution company Sysco revealed that it had suffered a data breach earlier in the year when sensitive data on customers, employees, and the business, was stolen by hackers.  The company said that it believes the network breach began on January 14, and they became aware of the breach on March 5.  The company noted that the threat actor gained access to their systems without authorization and claimed to have acquired certain data.  Though the investigation is ongoing, Sysco said customer and supplier data in the US and Canada and personal information of US employees such as names, Social Security numbers, and account numbers are likely to have been impacted or stolen due to this breach.  Sysco operates with around 71,000 employees and 333 distribution facilities globally.
