Major energy contractor reports ‘limited’ access to IT after ransomware locks files

Posted on December 3, 2024 by Dissent

Jessica Lyons reports:

American energy contractor ENGlobal disclosed that access to its IT systems remains limited following a ransomware infection in late November.

In a Monday filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the company said it became aware of a cybersecurity incident on November 25 after criminals broke into its networks and locked up some of its files.

“While the investigation and remediation efforts remain ongoing, access to the company’s IT system is limited to essential business operations,” according to the Form 8-K filing.
