SUMMARY: Ransomware – again
Italian luxury car manufacturer Ferrari announced that it was a victim of a ransomware attack in October 2022 that resulted in the exposure of some of its customer data. The company stated that the attackers did not access any sensitive information and that the issue had been resolved with no impact on its operations. However, Ferrari did not disclose the type of ransomware used in the attack, how the attackers gained access to its systems, or the number of customers affected.
Ferrari emphasized that it had taken immediate steps to contain the attack and protect its systems, and that it had informed the relevant authorities of the incident. The company also stated that it would continue to strengthen its security measures to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. The incident highlights the ongoing threat of ransomware attacks to organizations of all sizes and industries, and the need for robust cybersecurity measures to prevent and mitigate such attacks.
