Ingram Micro Bounces Back: IT Giant Triumphs Over Ransomware Attack!
Ingram Micro restores operations after ransomware hiccup; meanwhile, the SafePlay ransomware group plays it safe by keeping silent. The IT giant is back in business, processing orders via EDI, phone, and email, but the mystery of potential data theft remains unsolved. Guess some hackers prefer their drama in the shadows!
Hot Take:
It looks like Ingram Micro had a bit of a “ransom where?” moment, but rest assured, they’ve found their missing systems and are now back in the game. In a plot twist worthy of a cyber-thriller, the IT titan faced an unexpected weekend getaway from its systems, all thanks to the not-so-charitable SafePlay ransomware group. But fear not, they’re back to business faster than you can say “cyber resilience”!
Key Points:
- Ingram Micro experienced a ransomware attack over the weekend, causing system outages.
- The company took immediate steps to contain the attack by disconnecting internal systems.
- By Tuesday, they confirmed that systems were contained and recovery was underway.
- Full operational capacity was restored by Wednesday, with global operations back online.
- Details on potential data exfiltration remain undisclosed as investigations continue.
