Ingram Micro’s Digital Meltdown: SafePay Ransomware Chaos Unleashed
Ingram Micro’s systems are down due to a SafePay ransomware attack, leaving employees with ransom notes instead of their usual tasks. While the company remains mum, it’s clear SafePay is causing quite the “IT-saster.” Employees are advised to work from home, presumably with one eye on their computer and the other on their coffee.
Hot Take:
Well, folks, it seems that Ingram Micro’s latest “upgrade” package includes an all-new ransomware feature courtesy of the mischievous minds behind SafePay. Looks like someone forgot to tick the ‘Do Not Include’ box during installation! In a world where IT titans are supposed to be the tech superheroes, it seems Ingram Micro is currently stuck in the land of IT kryptonite. Let’s just hope they find their capes soon and fly back to normalcy!

- Breached via GlobalProtect VPN, leading to shutdown of internal systems.
