Diebold Nixdorf, a provider of ATMs and payment technology to banks and retailers, said it has successfully fought off a ransomware attack.
The company has said that the bad actors only attacked its corporate network and not its ATMs or customer networks, according to Krebs on Security, who first reported on the hack.
The breach was supposed to have happened on April 25 after the company’s noticed signs of a ransomware attack.
In response, the firm disconnected systems on the affected network to contain the malware.
“Unfortunately, cybercrime is an ongoing challenge for all companies,” the company told Krebs On Security. “Diebold Nixdorf takes the security of our systems and customer service very seriously. Our leadership has connected personally with customers to make them aware of the situation and how we addressed it.”
The attempted hack is the latest in a long string of attacks, which has seen an increase since the start of the year. Cyber crime has risen in the year due to bad actors taking advantage of the current COVID-19 crisis.
