CloudNordic has told customers to consider all of their data lost following a ransomware infection that encrypted the large Danish cloud provider's servers and "Paralyzed CloudNordic completely," according to the IT outfit's online confession.

While none of this is good news to organizations that have now lost all of their website and email data, CloudNordic does offer a slight silver lining: the biz doesn't believe that the criminals exfiltrated any information before encrypting the systems.

CloudNordic says its "Best estimate" is that the infection happened as servers were being moved from one datacenter to another.

Some of the machines were apparently infected before the move, and during the transfer servers that had been on separate networks were all connected to CloudNordic's internal network.

As of today, the CloudNordic said it's ready to get customers' web and email servers - without data - back online, albeit without DNS at present.

In the body of the email, include your email address, phone number, and domain, and CloudNordic will send you login details for a new website and email service.
