The US department store Kmart has been victim to a ransomware attack which has impacted back-end services within the company. Kmart has been targetted by the Egregor ransomware operation this week which encrypted devices and servers on the network.
A ransom note showed that the ‘KMART’ Windows domain was compromised as a result of the attack. KMART’s online stores are still operating, but the ‘Transformco Human Resources Site,’ 88sears.com, a partner of KMART, is currently offline.
