It says, in part: We have made substantial progress over the weekend, both with the forensics investigations and the recovery program, including the risk assessments for applications and towards our customers. The results strongly indicate that the incident occurred in the period from 4 May, 10 pm to 5 May, 10 am and followed a more or less “typical” RYUK ransomware attack pattern. The data we have suggests the attack was aimed at Volue infrastructure and networks and was not targeted at third parties or customers. It’s important to note that we have found no evidence to suggest that any of our customers have been compromised in this attack Read the full May 10 update or check for more recent updates.
