Security News > 2020 > July > Garmin staggers back to its feet: Aviation systems seem to be lagging, though. Here's why

Garmin services appear to be in the process of being restored after the company was reportedly hit with ransomware, though its aviation services remain offline at the time of writing.

Although Garmin Connect and other consumer-facing apps were gradually coming back to life, according to the company's status page, at the time of writing The Register was only able to access some of its aviation services.

The lag in Garmin's aviation services coming back online may be evidence of a targeted recovery strategy rather than anything else, however.

Garmin therefore has a good few days of breathing space before its aviation services need to be back online ready for distribution of the next cycle.

"We have no indication that any customer data, including payment information from Garmin Pay, was accessed, lost or stolen. Additionally, the functionality of Garmin products was not affected, other than the ability to access online services," it said in a statement.
