Security Update : Payroll System Provider For Sainsbury’s Hit By Ransomware Attack

It has been reported that Kronos, the payroll system provider for Sainsbury’s and many other big UK businesses was recently hit by a ransomware attack which affected its Private Cloud. For Sainsbury’s this meant the loss of a week’s worth of data for its 150,000 UK employees although it is understood that this hasn’t affected their Christmas pay. It has been reported that Kronos, a UKG company, has confirmed that some of its services are likely to be offline for several weeks as a result of the attack.
