RANCHO DOMINGUEZ, Calif. (BRAIN) — KHS Bicycles has resumed some
shipments following an IT system hack over the weekend.

"We are making progress and have begun to ship orders," KHS' vice
president, Wayne D. Gray, told BRAIN Tuesday afternoon. "Our B2B site
is back up and we are shipping from California today," he said. He
said the company would resume shipping from its Kentucky distribution
center on Wednesday.

The California-based distributor was unable to accept or ship dealer
orders Monday and early Tuesday.

The company was able to restore its email systems Tuesday and is
working with security specialists to restore other systems as soon as
possible.

"It appears to be an out-of-country ransomware situation," said Brian
Hemsworth, a spokesman. He said financial data from KHS and its
customers is encrypted, so the company is not concerned about that
data being exposed.

"Their concern is with getting their systems and operations up and
running again," said Hemsworth.
