Workplace experience and facility management company ISS World was hit this week by a malware attack that forced its systems offline.
At the moment, the company's employees don't have access to corporate systems, as they were taken offline following a malware attack earlier this week.
"On 17 February 2020, ISS was the target of a malware attack. As a precautionary measure and as part of our standard operating procedure, we immediately disabled access to shared IT services across our sites and countries, which ensured the isolation of the incident," the company announced.
Currently, the company's website is informing visitors that ISS systems are not available right now.
The investigation into the incident continues, and the company has yet to provide details on the potential financial impact of the attack and on the type of malware used.
