Outage at Mathworks, a leading US Simulation Software Co.
INCIDENT
MathWorks, a leading developer of mathematical computing and simulation software, has revealed that a recent ransomware attack is behind an ongoing service outage. Online applications and internal systems became unavailable. Customers experienced issues preventing them from creating new accounts, while others who haven't signed in since 11 October 2024 were not able to log in at all. No ransomware gang has claimed the breach, suggesting that MathWorks has either paid the ransom demanded by the attackers or is still negotiating.
