Pitney Bowes was hit with a ransomware attack that disrupted customer access to key services, the company said. The attack encrypted information on some systems but did not seem to access any customer or employee data. The company asked for those customers patience as it worked to restore services to normal after the attack. The FBI issued an advisory on Oct. 2 that U.S. companies should be on alert for ransomware attacks, which are increasing in sophistication. More than 1.5 million customers worldwide use PitneyBowes services, which streamline shipping and mailing.
