Security News > 2022 > August > Leading library services firm Baker & Taylor hit by ransomware
Baker & Taylor, which describes itself as the world's largest distributor of books to libraries worldwide, today confirmed it's still working on restoring systems after being hit by ransomware more than a week ago.
As Baker & Taylor said on August 23, its servers were down after an outage that impacted the company's phone systems, offices, and service centers.
"As an update, the source of the disruption is a ransomware attack launched against our network over the weekend, which we have been working to remediate ever since," Baker & Taylor said in a statement.
Still, based on the company's statement that it's working on restoring affected servers, it's safe to say that Baker & Taylor will not pay the ransom demand.
Baker & Taylor is a privately held company founded over 190 years ago and a leading library content and software supplier in the United States and around the globe.
A Baker & Taylor spokesperson was not immediately available for comment when contacted by BleepingComputer earlier today.
