Office furniture giant Steelcase has suffered a ransomware attack that
forced them to shut down their network to contain the attack's spread.

Steelcase is the largest office furniture manufacturer globally, with
13,000 employees and $3.7 billion in 2020.

Steelcase suffers a Ryuk ransomware attack

On October 22, 2020, Steelcase Inc. (the “Company”) detected a
cyberattack on its information technology systems. The Company
promptly implemented a series of containment measures to address this
situation including temporarily shutting down the affected systems and
related operations.

The Company is actively engaged in restoring the affected systems and
returning to normal levels of operations. At this time, the Company is
not aware of any data loss from its systems or any other loss of
assets as a result of this attack. Although cyberattacks can be
unpredictable, the Company does not currently expect this incident
will have a material impact on its business operations or its
financial results.

BleepingComputer has been actively tracking this attack after a source
in the cybersecurity industry told us last week that Steelcase
suffered a Ryuk ransomware attack.

We were told that Steelcase's devices were encrypted by Ryuk after
first being targeted by the same group behind the recent attack on
Sopra Steria and Universal Health Services.

cyberattacks, you can confidentially contact us on Signal at

Those attacks utilized either the BazarLoader or TrickBot infections,
which ultimately provide remote access to the Ryuk Ransomware threat
actors, who then compromise the rest of the network and deploy Ryuk.
