Statement on unauthorised third-party access to Alert Alarm’s external billing partner’s system in Sweden
Alert Alarm is a legacy acquired business in Sweden and their IT system is separate from the main Verisure IT system. The number of current Alert Alarm customers is fewer than 6000. Importantly, forensic analysis to date has not identified any evidence of compromise within Verisure’s own network or systems.
Our extensive investigation to date indicates that the incident affected a third-party billing system serving Alert Alarm customers only. Based on a comprehensive review of the system’s logs, our findings show that the affected data was limited to names, addresses, email addresses, and social security numbers of approximately 35,000 current and former Alert Alarm customers in Sweden.
We continue to work with expert advisors and have notified both the police and the relevant authority.
Investigations are ongoing, and we will update Alert Alarm customers as more information becomes available.
We regret any concern this may cause and remain committed to protecting what matters most to our customers.
