Security News > 2021 > March > High-availability server maker Stratus hit by ransomware
Stratus Technologies has suffered a ransomware attack that required systems to be taken offline to prevent the attack's spread. Stratus Technologies is a well-known provider of high availability products, such as their ztC edge computing devices and the ftServer fault-tolerant server solution.
Yesterday, Stratus Technologies disclosed that they suffered a ransomware attack, which led them to shut down portions of their network and services to isolate the attack.
"On March 17, 2021, Stratus Technologies, Inc. was the victim of a ransomware event. Upon detecting suspicious activity, we took several systems offline to isolate the issue and began to initiate our business continuity plan," Stratus Technologies disclosed today.
As part of their response, Stratus also took their ActiveService Network and Stratus Service Portal off-line.
The Stratus ActiveService Network is a service offered with its fault-tolerant products that allow Stratus engineers to monitor devices over private, secure communications channels.
BleepingComputer has reached out to Stratus with further questions about the attack.
