What to do
- Expect delays if you rely on this organisation's services, and keep records of anything you are owed.
- If you have an account, change that password, and anywhere you reused it.
- Ransomware gangs often leak stolen files. Be wary of anyone contacting you about this organisation.
- If you connect to this organisation (VPN, file transfer, email), review and restrict those links until they confirm containment.
- Check that your own backups are offline or immutable and that you have tested a restore recently.
- Patch internet-facing VPNs, firewalls and remote access first: they are the usual way in.
