Xerox Business Solutions experienced a data breach limited to its US operations, containing personal information. The company will notify affected individuals but hasn’t confirmed the impact on clients, employees, or partners. The ransomware gang Inc Ransom claimed responsibility, posting stolen documents on a leak site, which Xerox might have prevented from being published.

Based on the meeting notes, it appears that Xerox Business Solutions, a subsidiary of Xerox, experienced a data breach. The breach was contained within the subsidiary’s US operations and did not affect Xerox’s corporate systems. However, personal information was compromised, and Xerox has indicated that it will notify affected individuals as required.

The company has not provided details on whether the breach impacts clients, employees, or partners. It is also noted that the ransomware gang Inc Ransom claimed responsibility for the attack and posted screenshots of allegedly stolen documents on a Tor-based leak site. It is suggested that Xerox might have engaged in communication with the attackers to prevent the stolen data from being published online.

SecurityWeek has reached out to Xerox for additional information on the attack and will update their article once a reply is received. This incident is similar to recent data breaches reported by other companies such as LoanCare, CBS Parent National Amusements, and Integris Health.
