NCR is suffering an outage on its Aloha point of sale platform after being hit by an ransomware attack claimed by the BlackCat/ALPHV gang.
After days of silence, NCR has disclosed today that the outage was caused by a ransomware attack on data centers used to power their Aloha POS platform.
"As a valued customer of NCR Corporation, we are reaching out with additional information about a single data center outage that is impacting a limited number of ancillary Aloha applications for a subset of our hospitality customers," reads an email sent to Aloha POS customers.
In a statement to BleepingComputer, NCR said that this outage impacts a subset of their Aloha POS hospitality customers and only a "Limited number of ancillary Aloha applications."
While NCR did not share what ransomware operation was behind their attack, cybersecurity researcher Dominic Alivieri spotted a short-lived post on the BlackCat/ALPHV ransomware gang's data leak site where the threat actors claimed responsibility.
According to his chat, the ransomware gang told NCR they had not stolen any data stored on servers during the attack.
