Ransomware forces Publicare to process medical-supply orders manually

Swiss medical-supplies distributor Publicare notified customers about a ransomware intrusion by November 28, 2022. The company shut down affected server infrastructure, making its web shop unavailable and forcing staff to accept and process orders manually through telephone, email and fax. The Vice Society group later claimed responsibility and published allegedly stolen data.
