Xerox said a subsidiary is dealing with a cyberattack that may have involved the theft of personal information.
Last week a ransomware gang named INC claimed it attacked the company - which earned over $7 billion in 2022 from selling printers in more than 160 countries.
When asked about the claims, a spokesperson for Xerox directed Recorded Future News to a statement that confirmed the company was dealing with a cybersecurity incident.
XBS provides small and medium-sized businesses with printers, copiers and software.
Xerox said it plans to notify anyone affected by the incident.
According to researchers at SentinelOne, the INC ransomware group emerged in July.
The group launched several high profile attacks in 2023, including incidents involving Japanese manufacturer Yamaha Motor and the healthcare organization WellLife Network.
This is reportedly not Xerox's first run-in with ransomware gangs.
In 2020, the Maze ransomware gang published 25.8 GB of Xerox data.
The company was also mentioned in chats leaked from the now-defunct ransomware gang Conti in 2022, although it is unclear whether the group actually attacked Xerox.
