A ransomware attack has disrupted several trade industry and auction
websites run by a Nebraska company.

Sandhills Global, which is based in Lincoln, told its customers that its
operations were disrupted by a ransomware attack, and it had shut down
several systems temporarily to protect data, according to the Lincoln
Journal Star.

Publications operated by Sandhills that were not available online Sunday
include Truck Paper, TractorHouse, AuctionTime, Machinery Trader,
ForestryTrader, HiBid, RentalYard, Motorsports Universe, CraneTrader,
MarketBook, RV Universe, Oil Field Trader, Aircraft, LiveStockMarket,
Controller and Aircraft.com.

The company said it had hired cybersecurity experts to help it respond to
the attack, and Sandhills continues to investigate whether any client data
had been accessed or impacted by this incident.
