December 30 – The Schneider Electric data breach lawyers at Console & Associates, P.C are investigating the data breach that was reported after the company was targeted in a recent cyber security attack. While the full extent of the Schneider Electric data breach is still under investigation, hackers claim to have acquired over 40GB of compressed data, including over 400,000 rows of user data, critical project information, and various system plugins.
According to recent reports, Schneider Electric confirmed they were targeted in a ransomware attack that compromised one of their internal project execution tracking platforms. The attack was initially reported in November when hackers claimed to have accessed sensitive company data. Subsequently, on December 29th, these hackers published allegedly stolen data on their ransomware group’s leak site after the company reportedly refused to pay a ransom demand.
While Schneider Electric has acknowledged the cybersecurity incident, they have not yet confirmed whether any confidential consumer or employee information was compromised. If such a determination is made, the company will be required to send data breach notification letters to affected individuals.
