Ingram Micro, a U.S. technology distributing giant and managed services provider, said on Monday a ransomware attack is the cause of an ongoing outage at the company.California-based Ingram Micro is one of the world’s largest technology distributors, shipping tech and hardware to companies around the globe. It is also a managed service provider for its customers’ clouds, effectively acting as an outsourced IT department for smaller corporate customers. The outage is reportedly affecting software licensing, preventing Ingram Micro’s customers from using or provisioning some products that rely on Ingram’s systems. No major ransomware group has taken credit for the breach yet, but Bleeping Computer reports that the hack was caused by the SafePay ransomware gang. It’s not uncommon for ransomware gangs to name hacked companies and publish portions of stolen data in an effort to extort victims into paying ransoms.Do you think that ransomware attacks has be come like “cyber attack race” ?
