Artech

Summary

Artech, one of the largest IT staffing firms, disclosed a data breach after suffering a ransomware attack. The breach purportedly occurred in early January 2020, after the company’s network was infected with the ransomware variant Sodinokibi , or REvil, a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operation known to exfiltrate sensitive data prior to infection. Breached data varies per affected employee and may contain medical information, financial and payment card data, state and government issued identification numbers, electronic or digital signatures, Social Security numbers, and account credentials. The investigation was concluded on June 25, 2020 and notifications were sent to affected employees in early September 2020.
