In a very brief article titled Fujifilm shuts down computer systems following apparent ransomware intrusion Cyberscoop reports that the Japan-based company reported they shut down some of their network to protect themselves because they’re potentially targeted. The U.S. portion of their business is hampered more, it took out email and telephone communication.
According to the article, Fuji was made aware of the problem on Tuesday. They are continuing to determine how bad it is.
They’re the latest in the ransomware debacle.
As our first article in news notes for podcast 46 indicates, a meat company was struck. Read Shortages loom as ransomware hamstrings the world’s biggest meat producer Ars Technica for more on that one.
The company in that story is named JBS, and most people don’t know who they even are.
I found this paragraph interesting. It says:
Perhaps best known for its photography equipment, Fujifilm also makes a range of medical products such as CT Scan and Xray devices. The company reported
more than $20 billion in revenue last year and has offices around the world.
Its interesting they make other stuff too. You always learn new stuff.
If I see anything else, I’ll be sure to pass it along.
