The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) confirmed on Thursday that some of its contact center, internal systems, processes and internal communications were affected following a ransomware attack that took place on Christmas Eve. SEPA confirms ongoing ransomware attack likely to be by international serious and organised cyber-crime groups intent on disrupting public services and extorting public funds, the agency said.
SEPA added that, after isolating the compromised systems, recovery will probably take a significant period and some of the infected SEPA systems will have to be replaced with new ones.
