Ingram Micro, a global leader in information technology and supply chain services, confirmed on Saturday that it recently detected a ransomware attack targeting specific internal systems. The Irvine, California-based company stated that immediate steps were taken to secure its IT environment, including taking certain systems offline to contain the threat.

In response to the cyberattack, Ingram Micro initiated a comprehensive investigation, enlisting the expertise of top-tier cybersecurity professionals. Law enforcement authorities have also been notified, as the company works to assess the full scope of the incident and restore affected services.

While Ingram Micro has not disclosed the identity of the ransomware group or whether any data was compromised, the incident highlights growing concerns over cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the global tech supply chain. Ransomware attacks have surged in recent years, targeting critical infrastructure, large enterprises, and IT providers alike.

The company emphasized that protecting customer and partner data remains a top priority and that updates will be provided as more information becomes available. As one of the largest IT distributors in the world, Ingram Micro’s swift response aims to minimize operational disruption and reassure stakeholders of its commitment to cybersecurity resilience.

This event adds to a rising trend of ransomware threats impacting major technology firms, underscoring the need for robust cybersecurity strategies in the face of increasingly sophisticated digital attacks. Companies across the tech industry are being urged to strengthen their defenses, conduct regular security audits, and ensure rapid incident response protocols are in place.

As investigations continue, Ingram Micro remains focused on recovery efforts and reinforcing its digital infrastructure to prevent future breaches.
