What Happened?

In December 2020, Netgain Technologies, a vendor Perkins uses for hosting its data in the cloud, alerted Perkins to the fact that Netgain suffered a ransomware attack.

Netgain confirmed that between November 8, 2020, and December 3, 2020, an unauthorized actor accessed the servers that store Perkins’ data, some of which was copied and stolen. The unauthorized actor also encrypted files and demanded a ransom payment which Netgain paid. The files they had stolen were returned, however, Perkins considers any data that was acquired by hackers to be at risk.
