"Ransomware Attack Disrupts Bassett Furniture Manufacturing Facilities"

Virginia-based furniture manufacturer and retailer Bassett Furniture has recently announced that it was targeted in a ransomware attack that caused significant disruptions, including in the company's manufacturing facilities. The company detected unauthorized access to its IT systems on July 10. Bassett Furniture said the threat actor disrupted its business operations by encrypting "some data files." The company noted that retail stores and the e-commerce platform are open, and customers can place orders and purchase available merchandise; however, the company's ability to fulfill orders is currently impacted.  At this time, Basset does not believe that consumer personal information was compromised.  No known ransomware group appears to have taken credit for the attack at the time of writing.
