Security News > 2020 > October > Steelcase furniture giant hit by Ryuk ransomware attack
Office furniture giant Steelcase has suffered a ransomware attack that forced them to shut down their network to contain the attack's spread. Steelcase is the largest office furniture manufacturer globally, with 13,000 employees and $3.7 billion in 2020.
On October 22, 2020, Steelcase Inc. detected a cyberattack on its information technology systems.
BleepingComputer has been actively tracking this attack after a source in the cybersecurity industry told us last week that Steelcase suffered a Ryuk ransomware attack.
We were told that Steelcase's devices were encrypted by Ryuk after first being targeted by the same group behind the recent attack on Sopra Steria and Universal Health Services.
BleepingComputer has contacted Steelcase with further questions but has not heard back.
