You would have to live under a rock to be unaware of all the recent news reports regarding the ransomware attacks that are occurring, more and more frequently. There have been more than 40 publicly reported ransomware attacks against food companies, alone, since May 2020, according to Allan Liska, senior security architect at the cybersecurity analytics firm Recorded Future. Moreover, this affects trucking companies, whether by the direct or indirect attack. Look at what happened when JBS SA, the world’s largest meat producer and Colonial Pipeline Co., operator of the biggest U.S. gasoline pipeline, when they were hit earlier this year by ransomware. In addition, most recently, Kaseya, an information technology firm. (More on that, below). Trucks were parked because production had stopped. Parked trucks mean a loss of revenue!
That is why it is very important to us, at TMS Digital, to know that the Transportation Software we provide our customers is in a safe and protected environment. Our software apps, whether you run it as a stand-alone app or as a full service server system, are hosted on secure servers. We can assure you our data servers, with an over 95% success rate, are ransomware, malware and virus free.
Our parent company, Protected Harbor defines ransomware as:
“Ransomware is a type of malware that interferes with a system or server by limiting or entirely cutting off access to files until a ransom is paid. The attacker demands a ransom from the victim to restore access to the data upon payment. Ransomware has become one of the most lucrative ways for hackers to target companies and organizations.” For more information regarding our services, click here.
The most recent attack on a data provider affected between 800 – 1500 businesses around the world.
Quoted from Reuters:
“WASHINGTON, July 5 (Reuters) – Between 800 and 1,500 businesses around the world have been affected by a ransomware attack centered on U.S. information technology firm Kaseya, its chief executive said on Monday. Fred Voccola, the Florida-based company’s CEO, said in an interview that it was hard to estimate the precise impact of Friday’s attack because those hits were mainly customers of Kaseya’s customers.
Kaseya is a company that provides software tools to IT outsourcing shops: companies that typically handle back-office work for companies too small or modestly resourced to have their own tech departments.
One of those tools was subverted on Friday, allowing the hackers to paralyze hundreds of businesses on all five continents. Although most of those affected have been small concerns – like dentists’ offices or accountants – the disruption has been felt more keenly in Sweden, where hundreds of supermarkets had to close because their cash registers were inoperative, or New Zealand, where schools and kindergartens were knocked offline.
