Two U.S. banks have come forward to warn customers they were impacted by an August ransomware attack on a popular financial software company.
Artisans' Bank and VeraBank informed regulators in Maine last week that recent data breaches were sourced back to a cyberattack on Marquis Software. The software company previously said it suffered a ransomware attack around August 14 that affected dozens of its corporate customers and thousands of downstream users.
VeraBank explained in letters to victims that Marquis Software is their “customer communication and data analysis vendor.”
“They had access to your data to communicate relevant and necessary updates with you and also to analyze what bank products and services may best fit your needs,” the Texas-based bank said. “We only provided Marquis with access to your data after they had contractually agreed to secure and protect the same.”
In total, 37,318 people had information stolen but the letters omit what information was taken.
