Chicago-based transportation technology firm Rand McNally is working on restoring network functionality following a cyberattack that hit its systems earlier this week.
In a separate notification sent to customers on Tuesday, Rand McNally said that no indication of customer data being affected in the cyberattack.
Earlier today, Rand McNally sent a new email notification to users of its electronic logging devices saying that the cyberattack affected only its hosted and network systems.
In a statement shared with Land Line, a Rand McNally spokesperson said that the company's ELD platform was down and suggested the use of paper-based logging until the affected systems are restored.
Although Rand McNally made no official statement regarding this, the cyberattack currently affecting its systems shows all the signs of a ransomware attack starting with large scale operational disruption and the ongoing efforts toward network restoration.
