Residential security company Brinks Home has disclosed that hackers breached some of its systems and are threatening to leak allegedly stolen data.
The company identified the attack on July 20 and immediately activated its incident response procedure to contain the breach.
William Niles, CEO at Brinks Home, said that the company’s team was working with “leading forensics experts to address this issue.”
The intrusion did not impact in any way the company’s alarm monitoring and system functionality.
At the beginning of the week, the ShinyHunters extortion gang claimed the attack on Brinks Home, alleging that they stole more than 4.9 million Salesforce records with personally identifiable information (PII).
