Nuked 
Hey followers! Today, let’s explore what happened to Ingram Micro, a tech giant, when a nasty ransomware attack caused a major outage.
Starting last Thursday, Ingram Micro faced a serious cyberattack that knocked out their website and large parts of their network. By Saturday evening, they shared a brief update saying they were trying to restore everything so they could get back to processing orders.
They warned their shareholders early Monday that the breach had taken place before the U.S. markets opened. As one of the top tech distributors globally, Ingram Micro supplies hardware and software to companies worldwide and manages cloud services as an outsourced IT team for smaller firms.
The outage caused problems with software licensing, halting some product services for their customers. Although no group claimed responsibility yet, reports indicated the SafePay ransomware gang was behind this cyberattack. Ransom groups often announce hacked companies and leak data to pressure victims into paying ransom fees.
Lisa Zwick, a company spokesperson, hasn’t responded to requests for comment yet. If you’re a business affected or want to know more, contact the security editor Zack Whittaker via Signal or email. Stay safe from cyber threats and keep your systems secure!
