Cloud computing provider Rackspace warned customers on Thursday of increased risks of phishing attacks following a ransomware attack affecting its hosted Microsoft Exchange environment.
Some customers are also reporting an increase in phishing emails impersonating Rackspace since the ransomware attack.
Those affected by the Rackspace ransomware attack and outage should not open any suspicious email attachments or click any suspicious links.
Rackspace has not provided details on the attackers' identity and what data they could access or exfiltrate during the incident since it confirmed the ransomware attack behind the ongoing Hosted Exchange outage.
Rackspace Technology may have incremental costs associated with its response to the incident," Rackspace added.
Rackspace is also facing several class-action lawsuits for failing to disclose that the Hosted Exchange "Security incident" was a ransomware attack, for its failure to protect the customers' data, and for the impact the email service outage had on their businesses.
