Marketron Broadcast Solutions was hit over the weekend by a ransomware attack launched by the BlackMatter gang. The attack directly affects the company’s 6,000 media industry customers, with most of the services offered still offline as of Tuesday. Marketron CEO Jim Howard said his firm is currently in contact with BlackMatters and the FBI. The company says credit card information its customers have shared through its PayNow service is not affected because it is handled through a third-party card processor and is not maintained on Marketron’s servers. The gang is believed to be a reincarnation of the defunct DarkSide ransomware gang.”]
