French IT services firm Inetum Group has confirmed that it was the subject of a ransomware attack last week that disrupted certain operations.
Inetum Group says the ransomware attack occurred on Dec. 19 and affected its operations in France, but it ruled out any links to the Log4j vulnerability.
The company said that none of its infrastructures, communication, collaboration tools or delivery operations for its clients were affected.
“Within the affected perimeter, all servers have been isolated and client VPNs have been switched off. Following these initial measures and as a precaution, the dedicated crisis unit within the Group immediately asked Inetum’s operational teams to deactivate certain client interconnections deemed sensitive at the time,” the company says.
The company also states that it has identified the signature of the unnamed ransomware group, which it says it has communicated to the authorities at France’s National Information Systems Security Agency – the country’s main cybersecurity agency.
