Hackers Had Weeks of Undetected Data Access at Pepsi Bottling Ventures
Pepsi Bottling Ventures LLC suffered a data breach caused by a network intrusion that resulted in the installation of information-stealing malware and the extraction of data from its IT systems.
The incident, Pepsi Bottling Ventures says, was discovered on January 10, but the investigation that was launched into the matter revealed that attackers gained access to the company’s network on December 23. The unauthorized access was blocked on January 19.
While dwelling in Pepsi Bottling Ventures’ network, the attackers deployed malware and downloaded information stored on the systems they had access to.
Stolen personal information includes names, addresses, email addresses, financial information, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, ID card and password information, benefits information, health insurance information, medical history, health and health insurance claims, and digital signatures.
