From the meeting notes, it is clear that Xerox Business Solutions, a subsidiary of Xerox, experienced a cyber security incident. The incident was limited to XBS in the US and has been contained after being discovered by Xerox cybersecurity personnel. Although Xerox stated that neither XBS nor Xerox corporate data and operations were impacted, an investigation by a third-party cybersecurity firm revealed that personal information was accessed in the breach.
There is speculation about ransomware gang INC Ransom being involved, as they added Xerox to their list of victims on social media. While it is uncertain whether Xerox is negotiating with INC Ransom, the removal of leaked documents suggests ongoing discussions. However, it is emphasized that negotiating with cybercriminals is discouraged and should be avoided.
Xerox has committed to notifying all individuals whose personal information was compromised in the breach.
