Aside from gaming hardware manufacturers, modern corporations face constant attacks from malicious hackers and other digital no-goodniks. Corporations are not the only ones attacked by malicious hackers. MSI confirmed to its customers it had been attacked.
MSI has enumerated its responsibility for how much damage has been caused. As a result, the company threatened to release proprietary software and source code.
It has been reported that the Taiwanese computer manufacturer MSI (short for Micro-Star International)’s network has been compromised in a cyberattack.
As reported earlier this week, a ransomware group has infiltrated MSI systems with the help of the Money Message ransomware attack. Unless the company pays a $4 million ransom fee to the hackers, well-protected corporate data will be released online next week.
Asus advises all of its customers to ensure the latest BIOS and firmware updates are delivered only to the MSI website and not from anywhere else.
As expected, there are not many details, but it seems that MSI initiated “defense mechanisms and recovery measures” after detecting network anomalies and then notified law enforcement and the government.
