Owing to a ransomware attack on a popular technology provider, about 60 credit unions are experiencing disruptions.
A spokesperson for the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), Joseph Adamoli, stated that the ransomware attack was directed towards Ongoing Operations, a cloud services provider that is owned by Trellance, a credit union technology company.
Adamoli stated that incident reports were sent to the NCUA, the federal agency in charge of regulating credit unions, by multiple credit unions claiming that Ongoing Operations had sent a message stating that the company had been infected with ransomware on November 26.
“Upon discovery, we took immediate action to address and investigate the incident, which included engaging third-party specialists to assist with determining the nature and scope of the event. We also notified federal law enforcement,” Ongoing Operations told impacted credit unions.
