Cyberattack Causes Serious Fallout for French Online Retailers
Friday, August 16, 2024 was a dark day for Octave, specializing in ERP solutions and e-commerce services. A ransomware attacked knocked out half of the company's information system. The company is doing everything it can to restore its services as soon as possible, but the situation remains complex and delicate. All Octave customers , whether they use ERP solutions, e-commerce site services or any other service of the company, are directly affected by this attack. "The complexity of the actions required to restore the systems securely adds uncertainty as to the rapid resolution of the situation."
. Octave set up a crisis unit, called on a cybersecurity specialist and filed a complaint.
Some of Octave's customers, mostly independent physical stores that have an online shopping site such as cobra.fr, agripartner.fr, ardent-peche.fr, kazed.fr or 3as-racing.com, remain inaccessible this Wednesday, September 11, 2024.
