US government contractor ENGlobal Corporation has been hit by a ransomware attack, forcing the shutdown of parts of its infrastructure.
The attack was detected on November 25, 2024, and a preliminary investigation revealed that a threat actor illegally accessed and encrypted some of the company's data files.
ENGlobal has taken steps to contain the incident, including engaging external cybersecurity specialists and restricting access to its IT system.
The company's full access to its IT system remains uncertain, and the financial impact of the attack is yet to be determined.
