Wesco, a global supply chain and distribution company, acknowledged a cybersecurity incident following claims by ExfilSquad that it stole company data. The investigation is ongoing.
Wesco confirmed the security breach in a statement to BleepingComputer, though the company has not yet disclosed full details of the incident. ExfilSquad, a known threat actor group, claims to have exfiltrated data from the organization's systems.
The confirmation marks another significant breach in the supply chain sector, a critical infrastructure area frequently targeted by cybercriminals. Wesco operates globally and serves multiple industries, making the potential impact of a data breach substantial.
Details regarding the scope of stolen data, the number of affected customers, or the timeline of the incident remain unclear pending the completion of Wesco's investigation. The company has not released information about notification timelines for potentially impacted parties or remediation steps being taken.
ExfilSquad's claim has not been independently verified. Wesco has not commented on the threat actor's specific allegations or provided technical details about the attack vector used to compromise its systems.
