Update of Garmin services availability and the ransom demand
Users of many Garmin products had been unable to use their services since Thursday. It seems like some online tools are being returned in a “limited” state, according to its online dashboard.
While Garmin has said it was “the victim of a cyber-attack that encrypted some of our systems.” There has still been no company reference to a ransom demand.
“As our affected systems are restored, we expect some delays as the backlog of information is being processed,” said Garmin. “We are grateful for our customers’ patience and understanding during this incident and look forward to continuing to provide the exceptional customer service and support that has been our hallmark and tradition.”
