Security News > 2024 > January > Online museum collections down after cyberattack on service provider
Museum software solutions provider Gallery Systems has disclosed that its ongoing IT outages were caused by a ransomware attack last week.
In a customer notification shared with BleepingComputer, Gallery Systems said it suffered a ransomware attack on December 28th, causing the company to take systems offline to prevent further devices from being encrypted.
Some encrypted servers are responsible for hosting several Gallery Systems services, including the online public viewing platform called eMuseum.
Gallery Systems says it has notified the law enforcement authorities and is conducting an internal investigation to determine the breach's impact, promising to provide updates to clients when more info becomes available.
BleepingComputer has contacted Gallery Systems with questions regarding the cyberattack and its potential impact, but we have not received a response yet.
