Agropur dairy processing company has confirmed a significant data breach, exposing customer information.
BleepingComputer said the hack was confined to part of Agropur's shared online directory, leaving its transactional systems unaffected.
In a statement, Agropur emphasized that the continuity of its operations was not disrupted by the breach.
“After detecting the issue, we immediately launched an investigation and took steps to address the incident, including the implementation of corrective measures to mitigate the impact. To avoid prejudicing the investigation, we will not make further comment at this time,” the company said.
Agropur is based in Quebec, is a co-operative owned by dairy farmers and has significant processing plants in Ontario and the United States.
Key information regarding the breach remains unknown, including the identity of the attackers, the method of the attack, and the specific type of data accessed. It is also unclear whether the data was stolen, if an infostealer was employed, or if the attackers are demanding a ransom.
