Garmin Hit by Cyberattack, Disrupting Online Services Customer Data Unaffected
Garmin, a leading manufacturer of GPS navigation and wearable fitness technology, confirmed on Monday that a cyberattack last week disrupted multiple internal systems, temporarily taking several online services offline. The company stated that while the incident caused operational interruptions, there is no evidence that customer data was compromised.
The attack, which occurred in the days leading up to the disclosure, impacted Garmin’s ability to provide certain digital services, though the full scope of the disruption remains unclear. The company has not released details on the nature of the attack or whether ransomware was involved.
