Reseller SHI has revealed that it was the target of a “co-ordinated and professional malware attack” over the 4 July weekend.
The company, which provides IT products and services to businesses around the world, said there was currently no evidence to suggest that its customers were impacted by the attack.
In a statement the company said: “Thanks to the quick reactions of the security and IT teams at SHI, the incident was swiftly identified and measures were enacted to minimise the impact on SHI’s systems and operations. These preventative measures included taking some systems, including SHI’s public websites and email, offline while the attack was investigated and the integrity of those systems was assessed.
The cyberattack comes a year after IT management software firm Kaseya was also targeted around the time of Independence Day celebrations, forcing some of its servers to be temporarily shut down.
Several IT services firms have fallen victim to cyberattacks over the last few years including Econocom, CompuCom, DXC Technology, Sopra Steria, Tyler Technologies and Cognizant.
