Security News > 2020 > February > Australian Shipping Giant Toll Hit by Ransomware
Australian transportation and logistics giant Toll Group was forced to shut down some of its online services in response to a ransomware attack and customers are not happy with the way the company has handled the incident.
A notice posted on the Toll website to inform customers about the incident promised regular updates, but many were displeased with the fact that the first update came only several days later.
It's unclear what ransomware was used in the attack, which Toll has described as "Targeted," but it appears to have the capability to spread within the victim's network.
One anonymous user claimed on Twitter that the ransomware had infected over 1,000 Toll servers worldwide.
UPDATE. Toll says it has started restoring impacted services and revealed that the attack involved a piece of ransomware called Mailto.
