GoKawiilGlobal supply chain and distribution giant Wesco has confirmed in a statement to BleepingComputer that it is investigating a cybersecurity incident.
The company's statement comes after data extortion group ExfilSquad claimed to have stolen sensitive information from Wesco and leaked it on their data leak site.
Jennifer Sniderman, Vice President of Corporate Communications at Wesco, said that the incident involves the company's cloud CRM environment.
“Wesco is aware of a claim of CRM data exfiltration by a third party,” Sniderman told BleepingComputer.
“We have worked with our cloud CRM vendor on the matter, and we do not believe that there is a risk to sensitive data.”
The company representative added that Wesco has not experienced any business disruption, and all operations continue as normal.
Wesco said the incident was detected quickly, and its subsequent investigation found no evidence of ransomware or other malicious software on its IT systems.
“We do not believe that payment card information, financial account information or other sensitive customer or employee data is at risk,” stated the firm.
Wesco is a Fortune 500 company that distributes electrical, electronic, communications, security, utility, and broadband products while providing logistics and supply chain services to businesses.
