ATM maker Diebold Nixdorf confirmed on Monday that it was recently hit by a piece of ransomware, but the company said the incident caused only "a limited IT systems outage."

Diebold Nixdorf told SecurityWeek that the incident did not affect ATMs, customer networks, or the general public, and "Its impact was not material to our business."

It added, "Unfortunately, cybercrime is an ongoing challenge for all companies. Diebold Nixdorf takes the security of our systems and customer service very seriously. Our leadership has connected personally with customers to make them aware of the situation and how we addressed it."

The company could not provide any additional details.

Security blogger Brian Krebs, who broke the news, said the attack involved a piece of ransomware named ProLock, a successor of PwndLocker.
