Swedish Camera Giant Axis Still Recovering From Cyberattack

Most prioritized external services have now been restored. Restoring the remaining services is their highest priority, the company said.

 

Recently Camera maker Axis has reported to the public that the company is still struggling with a cyberattack that severely disrupted its IT systems on February 20th. 

The Swedish camera giant has released a statement on its official website and said that the organization was notified from its cybersecurity and intrusion detection system on Sunday before it shut down all its public-facing facilities globally in the wake of the cyberattack. 

Following the incident, the organization has reported that in their ongoing investigation they did not witness any information regarding an attack on their customer and partner data. 

"Our ongoing investigation of the attack has come a long way but is not entirely finalized. So far, we have no indication that any customer and partner data whatsoever has been affected. As far as the investigation currently shows, we were able to stop the attack before it was completed, limiting the potential damage," Axis said on Thursday. 

Furthermore, the company added that the external services of the company have been successfully recovered from the attack, and they are working towards restoring the remaining services.

“Most prioritized external services have now been restored. Restoring the remaining services is our highest priority, together with doing it in a way that does not jeopardize security. The time of disconnected services and limited possibilities to communicate with Axis has been an unfortunate but necessary consequence. Our gradual entry into a post-attack normal is based on changes that help us avoid similar future situations,” the company added. 

The company declared the outages on Twitter handle however it did not entertain requests for further comments. On its status site Friday afternoon, the company said its Case Insight tool in the US and the Camera Station License System were dealing with partial outages.
