Managed service provider Pivot Technology Solutions has disclosed that it was the victim of a ransomware attack that resulted in sensitive information being accessed by the hackers. The incident occurred last month and hit impacted data held by the parent company and its subsidiaries and/or former and current affiliates. Attackers were not able to complete the attack and encrypt files on the company systems but they spent enough time on the network to access sensitive information and also steal some of it. Pivot advises affected parties to take additional steps to protect against identity theft and offers free monitoring solutions.
