Security News > 2020 > November > Steelcase furniture giant down for 2 weeks after ransomware attack
Office furniture giant Steelcase says that no information was stolen during a Ryuk ransomware attack that forced them to shut down global operations for roughly two weeks.
Steelcase is the world's largest office furniture manufacturer, with almost 13,000 employees, a network of 800 dealers, and $3.7 billion in revenue in 2020.
Steelcase incurred additional costs due to system remediation, restoration, and reinforcement, as well as operational inefficiencies after the attack.
Steelcase also said that no sensitive customer or employee data was collected and stolen from any of the systems affected in the ransomware attack.
While the company refused to acknowledge that this was a ransomware attack in the initial SEC filing and the one filed today, BleepingComputer had information from a source in the cybersecurity industry that the Ryuk ransomware gang was the one responsible for the attack on their systems.
