Taiwanese PC company MSI has officially confirmed being the victim of a cyber attack on its systems. The company said it "promptly" initiated incident response and recovery measures after detecting "network anomalies." It also said it alerted law enforcement agencies of the matter. MSI did not disclose any specifics about when the attack took place and if it entailed the exfiltration of any proprietary information.
"Currently, the affected systems have gradually resumed normal operations, with no significant impact on financial business," the company said in a brief notice shared on Friday.
In a regulatory filing with the Taiwan Stock Exchange, the PC company said that it is setting up enhanced controls of its network and infrastructure to ensure the security of data.
MSI is further urging users to obtain firmware/BIOS updates only from its official website, and refrain from downloading files from other sources.
The disclosure comes as a new ransomware gang known as Money Message added the company to its list of victims.
