Latvian forestry company still restoring systems weeks after ransomware attack
Latvia’s state-owned forestry company LVM is still restoring IT systems weeks after a ransomware attack disrupted mapping, hunting, and customer service platforms, while investigators say the attackers were likely inside the network for more than a week before detection. CERT.LV linked the incident to a foreign financially motivated group that stole and leaked data, but confirmed Latvia’s election infrastructure was not compromised and that a separate breach at Olpha was contained. #LVM #CERTLV #Olpha #Latvia
