SHI International, a New Jersey-based provider of Information Technology products and services, has confirmed that a malware attack hit its network over the weekend.

"Over the Fourth of July holiday weekend, SHI was the target of a coordinated and professional malware attack," SHI said in a statement.

While evaluating its systems' integrity and investigating the security incident, SHI was forced to take some of its systems offline, including the company's public websites and email.

Starting Wednesday morning, SHI's staff brought all email servers shut down after the attack back online.

"While the investigation into the incident is ongoing - and SHI is liaising with federal bodies including the FBI and CISA - there is no evidence to suggest that customer data was exfiltrated during the attack," the company added.

SHI also said that it will keep customers up to date throughout the process and that no third-party systems in its supply chain were affected during the malware attack.
