Targus, a manufacturer of laptop and tablet accessories, including laptop bags, tablet cases, docking stations, and various mobile accessories, is reporting a cyber attack.
The incident was disclosed by Targus' parent company, B. Riley Financial, INC., after detecting unauthorized activity on its network on April 5th, 2024.
The cyberattack involved unauthorized access to Targus' file servers, prompting the company to trigger its incident response and business continuity protocols. This led to a temporary interruption in the company's business operations due to the necessity to shut down IT systems as a precaution.
As of the latest update, Targus has stated that the incident has been contained and that recovery efforts are underway with the support of external cybersecurity experts.
While Targus has not explicitly stated whether corporate data was exfiltrated, the fact that the hackers had access to the company's file systems raises concerns about the potential theft of sensitive information.
As of now, no ransomware groups or other threat actors have publicly claimed responsibility for the cyberattack. Targus and B. Riley Financial have not disclosed any details about the nature of the attack or the specific data that might have been compromised.
