.The contractor, Fazio Mechanical Services of Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania, issued a statement after the business was mentioned in several media reports as the possible weak link that allowed attackers to eventually steal 40 million payment card details.
.Like Target, we are a victim of a sophisticated cyberattack operation, according to a statement attributed to Fazios president and owner, Ross E. Fazio.
.The company specializes in designing and installing supermarket refrigeration systems, according to its website. A spokesman said Fazio provided refrigeration services to Target.
.The company revealed it had a data connection with Target, which was used for submitting electronic bills, contracts and project management material.
.Target is the only customer for whom we manage these processes on a remote basis, the statement read. No other customers have been affected by the breach. The company said it did not remotely monitor Targets heating, cooling or refrigeration systems.
.In the statement, Fazio said it could not comment on the technical causes of the breach due to the federal law-enforcement investigation, but said its IT system and security measures are in full compliance with industry practices.
