CANVASs: ransomware attack on its licensing server

At CANVASs, which sells subtitling software, the server behind the My Page site for licences and tickets was hit by ransomware early on 6 January, encrypting configuration files and database backups. My Page was unavailable and tickets were sold by hand. The server was restored on 14 January. The report of 29 January said the attackers most likely exploited a vulnerability in the framework the system used; data being sent out was very unlikely but could not be ruled out, so the company notified the Personal Information Protection Commission. No ransom was paid.
