Finastra back online after ransomware attack

Finastra is back online after shutting servers and offices late last week due to a suspected ransomware attack.

On Friday, customers were warned of a "potential security breach" causing disruption to certain services, particularly in North America.

After taking its servers offline, the FinTech closed offices in Canada and London in order to being in a forensic cyber security firm to investigate the scope of the incident.

In a statement on Sunday evening, chief operating officer Tom Kilroy said the firm is beginning to bring its servers back online after neutralising the threat.

"We are working with our impacted customers systematically and securely to return to normal operations," he stated. "Because our solutions each have their own nuanced processes to move from being available to operationally live, each of our products will be back once readiness steps are completed."

The company confirmed that "to the best of its knowledge" no customer or employee data was accessed, or any clients’ networks affected.
