Targus says cyberattack is causing operational outage


Targus' parent company, B. Riley Financial, said it discovered "a threat actor gained unauthorized access to certain of Targus’ file systems."

Mobile gadget and bag maker Targus says it is experiencing a “temporary interruption” to its business operations following a cyberattack on Friday. It’s not uncommon for companies to shut down their networks in an effort to prevent intruders from accessing other systems or sensitive data. It’s not known if any Targus customer data was stolen in the intrusion, but the company said it will “work with law enforcement with respect to the unauthorized access to information.”
