ENGlobal says hackers accessed ‘sensitive personal’ data during cyberattack


The engineering and automation contractor for the U.S. government said the hackers encrypted some of the company's files.

ENGlobal, which provides engineering and automation services to the federal government and critical infrastructure organizations, said in an updated 8-K filing with the U.S. securities regulator on Monday that hackers subsequently “encrypted some of its data files,” implying the incident was related to ransomware. The company said some of its business applications — including financial reporting systems — were offline for about six weeks. The company says it believes the threat actor, who has not yet been named, no longer has access to its IT systems.
