"Garmin Hit by Major Outage in Potential Ransomware Attack"
Since yesterday, Garmin’s website, app, and call centers have been offline due to a significant outage. In a memo by Garmin to employees, they stated that they were attacked by a virus. Researchers believe it might be a ransomware attack. According to researchers, the ransomware in question might be a new strain called WastedLocker. However, without official confirmation, this is more of a theory than a fact. So far, it’s not clear whether any personal data was stolen from Garmin’s platforms.
