NORTHERN IRELAND TRUSTFORD SITES HIT BY RANSOMWARE GANG
BENJAMIN DAVID DEPUTY EDITOR, INFOSECURITY MAGAZINE
* Email Benjamin
The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) is currently investigating a
cyber-attack across TrustFord branches throughout the UK.
The vehicle dealer group revealed the attack, which is believed to have been
committed by the Conti ransomware gang, affected the firm’s internal systems. In
particular, access to the internet and phones within the business was affected.
However, TrustFord assured customers that sites remain open and trading.
Additionally, the attack did not impact Ford Motor Company Systems.
The ICO said in a statement: “Ford Retail Limited has made us aware of an
incident and we are making enquiries.”
In response to the cyber-attack, a spokesperson from TrustFord said: “TrustFord
can confirm that some of its internal IT systems have been affected by a cyber
incident. There is no impact to Ford Motor Company systems. TrustFord’s 65 sites
in the UK and Channel Islands remain open and trading.
“Protecting customer data is our top priority and TrustFord has engaged
third-party experts to investigate and contain this incident.
“TrustFord has also informed the appropriate regulatory authorities. Our
relationships with customers are our foremost priority and we will make any
notifications in line with our regulatory obligations.”
On its website, a statement read: “While we are currently investigating an
incident that has caused some ongoing internal system outages, we are open for
business and able to answer your enquiries as usual using the website enquiry
forms or by phone.”
