Lawrence Abrams reports:
IPG Photonics, a leading U.S. developer of fiber lasers for cutting, welding, medical use, and laser weaponry has suffered a ransomware attack that is disrupting their operations.
I wasn’t going to even note this attack on this site, but then I read this:
A partial ransom note seen by BleepingComputer also indicates that the RansomExx ransomware operation conducted the attack.
RansomExx is a rebranded version of the Defray777 ransomware and has seen increased activity since June when they attacked the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and Konica Minolta in August.
