To prevent the attack from spreading further, the company shut down its computer systems.
Security standardization and certification company Underwriters Laboratories (UL LLC) was attacked by a ransomware program that encrypted devices in its data center.
To prevent the attack from spreading further, the company shut down its systems, which made it impossible for some employees to do their jobs. The company's representatives decided not to pay the ransom and instead restore the data from the backups.
"Until we learn more from our investigation, we cannot speculate on the type of information that could potentially be affected. If we determine that the data has been compromised, we will take appropriate action, " Bleeping Computer quoted UL LLC representatives as saying.
It remains unknown which ransomware operators organized the attack.
