"Olympus insists medical services 'uninterrupted' by malware attack"

The medical technology multinational Olympus has sought to reassure customers that
its services are running normally following a cyber-attack that prompted the shutdown of
certain IT systems. It happened on September 14 and the Japanese company
confirmed that the incident occurred on September 8, and it was "an attempted malware
attack affecting parts of their sales and manufacturing networks in EMEA (Europe,
Middle East, and Africa). It said that the attack impacted on some limited areas of its
EMEA IT systems. Olympus, which develops imaging products for healthcare and life
sciences applications, said it "immediately suspended data transfers in these areas".

2. If you were the System Administrator, what would have you done ?

If I were the system administrator, I would do the same to immediately suspend data
transfers in the affected area so that no data would be exposed by the attack. The
important thing is to ensure the safety of the company's data.
