Security News > 2020 > May > Ransomware Attack Takes Down Toll Group Systems, Again
Australian transportation and logistics giant Toll Group has been hit by a ransomware attack - for the second time in three months.
It's the second ransomware attack for Toll Group this year: The company said on Feb. 3 that it was hit by ransomware, leaving customers reporting an impact on operations across Australia, India and the Philippines.
Similar to this most recent incident, in the February ransomware attack various Toll Group customer-facing services were also reportedly debilitated, including the MyToll portal.
As was the case in the the last ransomware attack, customers expressed exasperation on Twitter during this second ransomware incident, complaining of communication issues and parcel tracking disruption due to MyToll being down.
"As we continue to investigate the details of the ransomware attack that led us to disable various IT systems, we're making good progress in rebuilding the core systems which underpin most of Toll's online operations," said the company.
