Masimo Cyberattack Chaos: Manufacturing Takes a Hit in Tech Trouble Tussle

California-based Masimo Corporation fell victim to a cyberattack, hobbling its manufacturing facilities. While experts and law enforcement are on the case, the company is working tirelessly to restore normal operations. So far, no data breach has been confirmed, but we suspect ransomware might be lurking like a virus in a 90s action movie.
