Security News > 2020 > October > IT Services Giant Sopra Steria Hit by Ransomware
European IT services provider Sopra Steria on Monday said its systems were recently infected with a new variant of the notorious Ryuk ransomware.
France-based Sopra Steria, which claims to have 46,000 employees across 25 countries, offers a wide range of IT services, including consulting, technology, software, system integration, business process, infrastructure management and cybersecurity.
The fact that the attackers only gained access to Sopra Steria systems just days before the attack was uncovered is not surprising.
Sopra Steria said the incident only impacted a "Limited part" of its infrastructure and claimed that it had found no evidence of data leaks or damage to customer systems.
While the operation against TrickBot appears to have been successful - at least to some degree - it was reported just days before Sopra Steria was targeted that Ryuk attacks continued.
