Finnish IT services giant TietoEVRY has suffered a ransomware attack that forced them to disconnect clients’ services. IT services companies that provide MSP and MSSP service offerings are a prime target for ransomware gangs due to how these companies operate. Ransomware gangs can use the company’s remote access software and support applications to spread the ransomware to their clients. The company reported the attack to local authorities, the Norwegian National Security Authority (NSM), and NorCert, who are assisting in the investigation.
