This led to unauthorized access to one of their third-party platforms, Workday鈥檚 Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software. There is no indication that 秀色直播 employees鈥� personal information and HR related information stored in 秀色直播's Workday system were accessed during this incident.
Nevertheless, we are doing our due diligence to investigate, and we are taking all necessary precautions to safeguard our systems and information.

During this transition, equipment pick up will continue to be available by appointment.
