Security News > 2022 > April > Online library app Onleihe faces issues after cyberattack on provider
Library lending app Onleihe announced problems lending several media formats offered on the platform, like audio, video, and e-book files, after a cyberattack targeted their vendor.
Onleihe is an app that allows users to connect to your local libraries and borrow eBooks, eMagazines, and audiobooks.
These files will have to be re-encrypted and uploaded onto the library to be made available again, which is a process currently ongoing.
The service provider for Onleihe, EKZ, suffered a cyberattack on April 18th, 2022, which rendered specific systems unreachable.
"The library user-related systems of the subsidiaries divibib with online lending and the LMSCloud as well as our e-mail applications are not affected." asserted EKZ's announcement.
While there's no mention of the word ransomware in EKZ's announcement, Bleeping Computer was able to find the firm listed on the LockBit ransomware data leak site.
