Ingram Micro Grapples with Ransomware Attack Causing Major Service Disruptions
Okay, so here's the deal: Ingram Micro, a massive tech distributor, got slammed by a ransomware attack. I'm talking website down, network in chaos – the whole shebang. It all started last Thursday, and they've been scrambling ever since to get things back online.
Basically, Ingram Micro is a big deal. They ship tech and hardware all over the world. Plus, they act as a managed service provider, handling cloud stuff and IT for smaller companies. This outage? It's messing with software licensing, preventing customers from using or setting up certain products.
While no ransomware group has officially claimed responsibility yet, whispers are pointing fingers at the SafePay ransomware gang. These guys are known for leaking stolen data to pressure victims into paying up. It's a nasty business, and I can only imagine the headache this is causing Ingram Micro and its clients.
It seems like these attacks are becoming more frequent and more damaging. If you're a business owner, it's really important to invest in strong security measures to protect your data and systems, because you don't want to be in Ingram Micro's position right now.
