KnowBe4 - Ransomware Attack Costs Dutch Builder 60,000 Euros

A ransomware infection has cost Dutch builder Almi Machinebouwers at least 60,000 euros. That is what director Frank Landhuis said in an interview with Sprout.

Due to the infection, employees could no longer log into their systems and the machine builder's robots were no longer able to process new orders. It was also impossible to create packing slips and invoices or to send e-mails.

The attackers demanded an amount of 8,000 euros, which Landhuis decided to pay. He then received the decryption keys to unlock the encrypted files and the company could start up again.
