SwanR Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Ah interesting. I was in there a few days ago and they mentioned that all their systems were down. Although we were still able to pay by card at the till. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanessan Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I was in the food store yesterday, no printed receipts available but the card machines were happily working ok 😁. Strangely the two clothes etc units were issuing receipts! Sounds as if it’s all been a bit of a nightmare for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnoar Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 No business would ever pay the ransom. Bit of disruption whilst setting up again from scratch and a few more precautions to hopefully avoid a repeat. There’s a whole industry ready and waiting to prevent such a thing happening again, scary sharks with no teeth in reality though, scary when you’re an employee and it happens, got the t shirt.

The weak link is befriending employees who have access to the passwords. And it's amazing how many don't have adequate back-ups to roll the data back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS2021 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Tried to access this site on my mobile about 1/2 hour ago and got 'community unavailable'. Thankfully its back now. I hope the ransom wasn't too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
