Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based flavor and spice provider, R.L. Schreiber, Inc. suffered a cyberattack it reported this month to state regulators.
On October 23, RL Schreiber reported attackers were able to make off with names and Social Security Numbers of victims.
Information on the attack is scant right now as the listing with the Vermont Attorney General’s office does not say whose information was involved, such as current or former employees, job applicants or business contacts, nor does it explain how the incident happened, when it began or when the company discovered it.
R.L. Schreiber is a family-owned company that makes and distributes flavor bases, spices, seasonings and other culinary products to the foodservice industry. It manufactures at a plant in Lebanon, Kentucky, and it sells largely through a nationwide network of independent distributors who deliver to restaurants and commercial kitchens.
No further information was immediately available on what kind of attack it was and who was behind it.
