Laptop and tablet accessories maker Targus disclosed that it suffered a cyberattack disrupting operations after a threat actor gained access to the company's file servers.
Targus is a mobile accessories company known for stylish laptop bags and carrying cases.
In a Monday evening FORM 8-K filing filed with the SEC, Targus' parent company, B. Riley Financial, INC., disclosed that the laptop bag maker detected hackers on its network on April 5th, 2024.
As part of this attack, a threat actor gained access to Targus' file systems, causing the company to initiate incident response protocols.
Companies commonly shut down IT systems in response to a cyberattack to prevent the spread of the attack to other servers and devices.
The company has not disclosed whether corporate data was stolen, but as the hackers were first discovered on the company's file systems, used to store files and data, it is possible that data was exfiltrated.
