Ingram Micro, a prominent U.S. technology distributor and managed services provider, has confirmed that a ransomware attack is responsible for an ongoing outage within the company. The incident began last Thursday, resulting in the company’s website and a significant portion of its network going offline. On Saturday, Ingram Micro announced that efforts were underway to restore systems in order to resume order processing.
Impact on Operations
Headquartered in California, Ingram Micro is a key player in the global technology distribution sector, catering to businesses worldwide by supplying tech products and hardware. Additionally, the company serves as a managed service provider, offering outsourced IT support to smaller corporate clients. The outage has affected software licensing, hindering customers from using certain products that rely on Ingram Micro’s systems.
Ransomware Group Involvement
While no specific ransomware group has claimed responsibility for the breach, reports suggest that the SafePay ransomware gang may be behind the attack. It is not uncommon for ransomware groups to target organizations, potentially exposing sensitive data to pressure victims into paying ransom fees. Despite these developments, Ingram Micro’s spokesperson, Lisa Zwick, has not provided further details on the incident.
