Moneris recently encountered a ransomware attack attempt, but it did not impact their secure payment processing environments.
However, an unauthorized third party successfully accessed and disclosed specific business information, including Moneris Merchant IDs and locations, issue logs, internal training materials, and details like names and postal addresses associated with legacy gift cards.
In response to the incident, the company collaborated with its internal team and external cyber experts to thoroughly examine the accessed information. They are actively taking appropriate measures to mitigate any potential risks arising from the unauthorized access.
