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](https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/cone), was down about 5% during the first hour of trading after news of the ransomware attack broke.
