National Gallery of Canada

Canada’s national art museum has spent the two weeks recovering from a ransomware attack that forced it to shut down its IT system.

The company acknowledged that "some operational data has been lost," but insisted that no client data had been stolen.

The Ottawa Citizen reports that the art museum sent an email to its subscribers on Tuesday morning informing them that their payment systems were unaffected and that they do not keep full credit or debit card data on file.

While servers are repaired and access is gradually restored, the Ottawa-based organisation has continued to be open to the public. However, many workers continue to work remotely.
