• Foxconn suffers ransomware attack affecting multiple US facilities, forcing some staff to use pen and paper or stay home
• Nitrogen group claimed responsibility, saying they stole 8TB of confidential data and posted it on their leak site

Foxconn has confirmed suffering a ransomware attack recently in which the company allegedly lost terabytes of sensitive information.

The attack apparently affected multiple facilities across the United States, and even forced some employees to go back to pen and paper for their day-to-day operations. Others were sent home until the issue was resolved.

A company spokesperson confirmed the incident, but declined to share key details. Therefore, we don’t know which facilities were hit, how many people were affected, or what kind of data was stolen during the raid.
