Northwave is experiencing a severe hacking attack, as evidenced by the downed computer, paralyzed network, and blocked activity.
There are hours and days of furious effort at the Pederobba headquarters to restore the digital architecture that underpins the company.
The goal is to rescue what can be saved owing to the backup servers kept providentially offline.
The business denies knowledge of a €200,000 ransom demand made by hackers to access the network.
The objective of cybercriminals is access to more vulnerable individuals rather than a frontal attack.
