Australian beverages company Lion reported this week that its systems have been infected with a piece of ransomware that caused disruptions to manufacturing processes and customer service.
The company revealed on June 9 that it had shut down its IT systems as a result of a "Cyber incident," causing disruption to customers and suppliers.
The company claims it has found no evidence that personal, financial or other type of information has been stolen from its systems as a result of the breach, but its investigation is ongoing.
The hackers who conducted the attack have already started leaking files stolen from Toll - hundreds of gigabytes of financial and other information has been made public - after the company refused to pay the ransom.
Japanese car maker Honda was also hit by ransomware recently and the company admitted that the incident impacted production operations at some plants in the United States.
