Security News > 2020 > February > Facilities Maintenance Firm Recovering From Malware Attack
ISS World, a global facilities maintenance company based in Denmark, says it's gradually restoring its systems after a malware attack on Monday.
ISS World says the "Root cause" of the attack has been identified.
The company didn't say if the attack was caused by ransomware, the file-encrypting malware that is frequently the cause of public announcements of system shutdowns.
A U.K.-based publication, This Week in Facilities Management, reports that 43,000 of ISS World's employees had no access to operational systems, including 4,000 employees in the U.K. But ISS World says most of its work is performed on customer's sites, and it is relying on its business continuity plans to continue operating.
ISS World's description of the attack would fit the profile of a ransomware strike.
