A ransomware attack disrupted IT services company Conduent’s work with its clients last week, another example of digital extortionists targeting key technology suppliers. Conduent, which reported $4.5 billion in revenue last year and provides IT services in sectors such as health care and banking, had its European operations temporarily hampered, spokesman Sean Collins said. The incident occurred on May 29. Most systems were functioning nine hours later on that same day, and all have since been restored, he said.

When hackers lock the computer systems of a big company with ransomware, the gears of corporate damage control kick into action. Lawyers are mobilized, spokespeople are tight-lipped, and negotiation experts are sometimes brought in to talk to the hackers. Those triage teams strictly limit the information on the incident available to the public. But forensic experts hired to salvage a company’s computers sometimes reveal the important data they collect on ransomware gangs.
