Payroll giant PrismHR outage likely caused by ransomware attack

Lawrence Abrams reports:

Leading payroll company PrismHR is suffering a massive outage after suffering a cyberattack this weekend that looks like a ransomware attack from conversations with customers.

PrismHR is an online payroll, benefits, and human resources platform used by Professional employer organizations (PEO). PEOs use this platform to provide payroll, HR, and benefits services to their clients, commonly small and medium-sized businesses.
