Silverfish UK affected by US ransomware attack

Silverfish UK has been affected by the ransomware attack on US software company Kaseya, with its website and order processing system currently out of operation.

No data was accessed or extracted as part of this attack, the distributor said, and it is working hard and as quickly as possible in conjunction with its IT partners to restore these systems and has already made good progress.

The website will remain offline and Silverfish will be unable to process any new orders while the work is carried out. “We will of course update everyone with further information as we have it,” it added. “In the meantime, we would like to thank our customers for their patience and support.”
