Ransomware Attack Hits Major US Data Center Provider
CyrusOne, one of the biggest data center providers in the US, has suffered a ransomware attack, ZDNet has learned. FIA Tech, a financial and brokerage firm, has informed customers today that an outage of their respective cloud services originated at their data center provider. FIA Tech did not name the data center provider, but a quick search identified it as CyrusOne. In a message to customers, FIA Tech said "the attack was focused on disrupting operations in an attempt to obtain a ransom from our data center provider." A source has told ZDNet today that the incident has not impacted all of CyrusOne's data centers, but that restoring servers and customer data will be a lengthy process. The company owns 45 data centers in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, and has more than 1,000 customers.
