Telus say it’s investigating recent claims that some employee information as well as company source code was posted to the “dark web” as part of a data breach.
Telus director of public affairs Richard Gilhooley confirmed the investigation in a statement to Global News on Friday afternoon.
“We are investigating claims that a small amount of data related to internal TELUS source code and select TELUS team members’ information has appeared on the dark web,” he said.
Gilhooley said the Vancouver-based telecommunications company launched an investigation “as soon as it was made aware of the incident” but has not yet responded to Global News inquiries about when it learned of the possible breach.
He added that, to this point in the probe, the company “has not identified any corporate or retail customer data” as being involved in the incident.
More to come.
