Industrial giant Honeywell on Tuesday revealed that some of its IT systems were disrupted as a result of a malware attack.
The company said the intrusion was detected "Recently" and only a "Limited number" of IT systems were disrupted.
An investigation into the incident is ongoing, but Honeywell says it has found no evidence to date that the attacker managed to exfiltrate data from systems that store customer information.
"We promptly took steps to address the incident, including partnering with Microsoft to assess and remediate the situation. Our systems have since been secured, we identified the point of entry, and all unauthorized access has been revoked."
SecurityWeek has reached out to Honeywell to find out if the incident involved a piece of ransomware.
The news from Honeywell comes shortly after Canada-based IoT company Sierra Wireless revealed that some of its internal IT systems were recently hit by ransomware.
