CR&R Environmental Services Data Breach Investigation
The data breach lawyers at The Lyon Firm are investigating a data breach incident reported by the California-based CR&R Environmental Services. Years ago, it was reported by the BlackCat/ALPHV ransomware news leak site that the company was hacked by both BlackCat and Vice Society. It is unclear if the most recent announcement is related to those events.
