Danish cloud hosting firms CloudNordic and Azero - both owned by Certiqa Holding - have suffered a ransomware attack that resulted in most customer data being stolen and systems and servers rendered inaccessible.
The companies believe the attack happened while they were transfering servers from one data center to another.
The companies have stated that they do not intend to pay the ransom and have reported the attack to the Danish police and relevant authorities.
The public notices released by the companies provide customers with information on how to get mail and websites working again, but this attack may well spell out the end of both companies.
Internet service, email, web hosting and data center providers are often hit by ransomware attackers.
Previous victims include web hosting provider Nayana, managed hosting provider Rackspace, web hosting company Opus Interactive, web hosting company Managed.com, information technology services and consulting company Cognizant, and others.
