Kronos Private Cloud has been hit by a ransomware attack. The company, also known as Ultimate Kronos Group (UKG), provides timekeeping services to companies employing millions across worldwide.
Emails sent by Kronos to its corporate customers, seen by The Register, confirm the firm has pulled its private cloud services offline following a ransomware attack. It is advising customers to deploy “alternative business continuity protocols” – a move with potential implications for Britons’ Christmas pay packets.
