Cybercriminals Disrupt IKEA Operations Across Four Countries During Holiday Sales

Two days before Black Friday 2024, a ransomware attack targeted the Fourlis Group, an IKEA franchise, resulting in losses of €15 million $17 million

Two days before Black Friday 2024, a ransomware attack targeted the Fourlis Group, an IKEA franchise, resulting in losses of €15 million $17 million.
