Tata Technologies Suffers Ransomware Attack And Temporarily Suspends IT Services

The multinational Indian company Tata Technologies confirmed that it was hit by a ransomware attack that forced it to suspend its IT services. The company also assured that all services had been restored and that their customers weren’t affected.

According to Cyber Security News, Tata Technologies—a subsidiary of Tata Group and headquartered in India—shared an official statement acknowledging the situation, assuring that the services are under control, and informing about an investigation to get to the root cause and enhance security.

“Some of the IT services were suspended temporarily and have now been restored. Our client delivery services have remained fully functional and unaffected throughout,” said Tata Technologies in an official announcement, signed by Vikrant Gandhe, Company Secretary of Tata Technologies.

The company—specialized in product engineering and digital services in multiple industries such as automotive, industrial machinery, and aerospace—assured that their client’s services remained “fully functional” and that they are taking action and following security measures.

“Further detailed investigation is underway in consultation with experts to assess the root cause and to take remedial action as necessary. We remain committed to the highest standards of security and data protection,” added the company.

Tata Technologies didn’t provide more information or details on what was affected, if hackers requested a ransom payment, or if the attackers have been identified.

A recent ransomware attack addressed to American Addiction Centers (AAC) exposed sensitive information from over 400,000 members and the Rhysida ransomware gang claimed responsibility.
