Sandhills Global’s website, as well as all of their hosted publications, went offline recently, and their phones stopped working.
When users tried to visit websites hosted on Sandhills’ platform, they were greeted with a Cloudflare Origin DNS error page, indicating that Cloudflare is unable to connect to Sandhills’ servers.
The outages are thought to be the outcome of a Conti ransomware attack.
The attack took place early Thursday morning, prompting the firm to take down all of its IT systems in order to prevent the hack from spreading.
