EPCOR USA's phone system vendor, Faneuil, Inc was targeted in a ransomware attack in August 2021.
It disrupted the customer telephone system of Epcor which resulted in long wait times for U.S. customers calling for general customer support.
The attack did not breach any customer information still, as a precautionary measure the vendor noticed the customers consider changing their passwords on their financial accounts and look over recent statements for any unauthorized activity.
