A cyber-attack on outsourcer Infosys McCamish Systems last year impacted more than six million customers, according to a new filing with data protection authorities.
The incident, which was first reported in February, was traced back to November 2023, according to the filing with the Maine Office of the Attorney General.
The company, which provides outsourcing services to financial and insurance companies, said it began notifying customers about the breach on June 27 - months after it took place.
IMS said it is offering 24 months of credit monitoring to affected customers, although it's unaware of the stolen personal information having been fraudulently used.
According to original reports, notorious ransomware group LockBit was responsible for the breach, which encrypted over 2000 computers.
The stolen information will most likely be used for follow-on phishing and identity fraud attacks.
