Ingram Micro says ransomware incident is 'contained'

Ingram Micro has said that it believes the unauthorised access to the company's systems in connection with the ransomware incident last week is "contained" and the affected systems "remediated".

In a statement, the company explained that as result of the incident, it had been proactively taking certain systems offline and implementing other mitigation measures, as well as working with third-party cybersecurity experts.

"Our investigation into the scope of the incident and affected data is ongoing," the company said.

"Our team has been working around the clock on this matter to restore affected systems. We have implemented additional safeguards and monitoring measures to protect our network environment as we bring our systems back online."

The company announced just after 7pm on July 5 PDT time in the US that it had identified ransomware on “certain internal systems”.
