Google via Artech Information Systems
One of the biggest IT employment firms in the US, Artech Information Systems, has announced a data breach brought on by a ransomware attack that hit several of its systems.
Artech investigated and found ransomware on some of the computers after receiving allegations of strange activity using one of its employees' user accounts.
Artech hired a reputable forensic investigation company to analyze its systems' security and verify the nature and scale of the incident.
The REvil ransomware gang purported to have stolen 337MB of files from Artech servers, but the inquiry found that an unauthorized actor had access to some of the company's systems.
