MathWorks

MathWorks, a leading developer of mathematical computing and simulation software, experienced a ransomware attack that caused an ongoing service outage. The attack affected the company's IT systems, rendering some online applications used by customers and internal systems used by staff unavailable. The outage impacted services such as the cloud center, file exchange, license center, and MathWorks store. While some services have been restored, issues persist, including difficulties in creating new accounts and logging in for some customers.
