Ransomware attack on leading internet-of-things (IoT) manufacturer Sierra Wireless this week ground its production activity to a halt and froze internal operations. The Canadian multinational manufacturer creates a broad array of communications equipment from gateways to routers, cellular modems to modules, and smart connectivity solutions for IoT devices. The attack first hit on March 20, pushing the company s IT systems offline and halting production across its manufacturing sites. Sierra Wireless website and other internal operations have also been disrupted by the attack.
