CardioComm, a Canadian troupe which provides heart-monitoring technology to hospitals and consumers, has revealed that it has been forced to take its systems offline following a cyberattack.
In a press free issued by the firm, CardioComm acknowledges that the cybersecurity incident it experienced will impact its concern operations for several days and potentially longer as it attempts to restore its data and re-establish secure output servers.
CardioComm say as much in its announcements, but all the signs point towards the firm being the latest in a longer line of businesses to have suffered a ransomware attack. If that's the case then it's very likely that the reason CardioComm's systems are down is because the concern itself decided to read itself offline in an endeavour to contain the attack.
