Gold prices edge lower; heading for weekly losses ahead of U.S.-Russia talks
Investing.com -- UBS Group confirmed that information about the bank was stolen during a cyberattack on an external supplier that affected multiple companies.
"A cyberattack at an external supplier has led to information about UBS and several other companies being stolen. No client data has been affected," the bank said Wednesday.
UBS emphasized that it "took swift and decisive action to avoid any impact on its operations" as soon as it became aware of the incident.
The supplier involved in the breach was Chain IQ, which reported last week that it had been targeted in a cyberattack along with 19 other companies. The attack resulted in data being leaked and subsequently published on the dark web.
Swiss newspaper Le Temps reported that data on more than 130,000 UBS employees were available online following the breach.
Chain IQ previously stated that the situation had been contained and all necessary countermeasures had been implemented.
