SHI International, one of the world’s 15 largest IT service providers (with over 5,000 employees and annual sales of $12.3 billion in 2021), has fallen victim to a "coordinated and professional malware attack."
There is no evidence suggesting that any of SHI's 15,000 corporate, enterprise, public sector, or academic customers had their data exfiltrated or that any of the third-party systems in its supply chain were affected during the attack. The fact that systems were taken offline and that restoration efforts are still ongoing suggests that ransomware might have been involved.
The New Jersey-based reseller is now working with U.S. bodies including the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to probe the attack.
Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud keeps your data safe from ransomware and other cyberthreats, thanks to its included Active Protection and multi-layered behavioral and AI-powered defenses. simple backup solution helps to restore normal operations quickly after an attack.
