Swedish furniture giant IKEA confirmed that its franchises in Kuwait and Morocco are dealing with a cyberattack that caused a disturbance on some operating systems.
A spokesperson told The Record that the attack is “being investigated together with the relevant authorities as well as our cyber security partners.”
“IKEA Kuwait and IKEA Morocco are independently operated by a franchisee based in Kuwait,” the spokesperson said. “The operations and customer meeting points are independent from any other IKEA retailers.”
The outlets in Kuwait and Morocco were added to the leak site of the Vice Society ransomware group on Monday.
The file names shared on the leak site indicate the hackers stole business as well as employee data and may have additional information taken from IKEA outlets in Jordan.
