Superion, a provider of software and information technology services to governments, has alerted clients about suspicious activities on their computer networks.

In a statement issued on Friday, CEO Simon Angove said these included “possible attempts to steal personally identifiable information.” He added that they involved a small number of customers.

Angove continued: “We immediately launched an investigation into the reported incidents and engaged a leading PCI forensic investigation firm to assist in our efforts.”

He added that the firm has “notified Superion customers about the suspicious activity,” and about “certain potential vulnerabilities in the security of their network.”

Superion also provided them “with recommendations for addressing the same,” he said.

Angove did not specify the nature of the personally identifiable information, and whether it included email addresses. But he said: “While Superion does not control our customers' networks, we and our forensic investigator have found no evidence of credit card scrapers or evidence of credit card data extraction on any server we've analyzed.”

Superion’s clients include federal, state and local governments, public safety agencies and nonprofit groups that together serve more than 175 million people per day.
