CyrusOne operates a network of more than 45 mission critical data centers in North America, Europe, South America, and Asia.
And right now, the company is dealing with a ransomware attack.
ZDNet broke the news:
"The incident took place yesterday and was caused by a version of the REvil (Sodinokibi) ransomware.
This is the same ransomware family that hit several managed service providers in June, over 20 Texas local governments in early August, and 400+ US dentist offices in late August.
According to a copy of the ransom note obtained by ZDNet, this was a targeted attack against the company's network. The point of entry is currently unknown."
CyrusOne, which trades on the NASDAQ as CONE, was down about 5% during the first hour of trading after news of the ransomware attack broke.
