ENGlobal’s IT Turmoil: When Ransomware Locks Your Files and Your Patience
ENGlobal’s IT systems are still on a digital detox after a ransomware attack. The engineering contractor, whose clients include the US Department of Defense, is grappling with limited access as cybercriminals encrypted its files. While the investigation continues, ENGlobal’s business operations are reduced to the essentials. Ransomware strikes again!
Hot Take:
Looks like ENGlobal is feeling a bit “ransom-where?” as hackers lock up their files and leave them dangling like a carrot stick in front of a hungry rabbit! It’s a cybersecurity whodunit mystery, but instead of fingerprint dust, we’ve got encrypted files and a lot of unanswered questions. At least they’ve got the FBI on speed dial, right?
Key Points:
- ENGlobal’s IT systems are still limited after a ransomware attack in late November.
- The company is investigating the breach with external cybersecurity specialists.
- High-profile clients include the US Department of Defense and Department of Energy.
- No information on the impact on finances or operations has been released yet.
- The attack is part of a rising trend in cyberattacks on critical infrastructure.
