Verizon has been hit by hackers.

According to independent cybersecurity researcher Brian Krebs, the company’s anti-hacking task force, Verizon Enterprise Solutions—which helps Fortune 500’s respond to some of the world’s largest data breaches—was hacked.

Verizon Enterprise is renowned for its cybersecurity skills. It releases an annual report helping organizations understand threats and how to improve their defenses against breaches.

The hacker priced the contact information from the 1.5 million Verizon customers on the ad for $100,000.
