Technical Analysis

The data extortion group ExfilSquad claimed to have stolen 2.6 million records from Wesco, including customer and employee PII, account and contact data, CRM user profiles, credit and business identifiers, authentication metadata, and access information. Wesco confirmed the incident involves its cloud CRM environment and is working with its cloud CRM vendor. The company reports no business disruption and no evidence of ransomware or other malware.
