Ingram Micro Suffers Ransomware Attack, Disrupting Software Licensing and Operations
Ingram Micro, a global technology and electronics distribution giant based in Irvine, California, confirmed a ransomware attack on July 5 that disrupted its network and impacted software licensing services. The incident has prevented customers from using or provisioning certain products reliant on Ingram’s systems, as reported by TechCrunch.
The company acknowledged the attack in a July 5 statement, stating it was working to restore affected systems. An Ingram spokesperson later directed inquiries to the initial release, indicating no further updates were available at the time. The outage has had financial repercussions, with Ingram Micro’s stock closing down 7.5% at $20.20 per share on the day of the announcement, reducing its market cap to $4.7 billion.
With over $54 billion in annual sales, Ingram Micro plays a critical role in the global supply chain for technology products. The attack highlights ongoing vulnerabilities in cybersecurity for major distribution and logistics firms, though the full extent of the impact on operations and customer data remains unclear.
