In addition, service response speeds in the Americas are gradually increasing and are expected to return to normal during the weekend.
The company is also taking further security measures to restore mailbox data in the Americas. It is expected that the original mailbox contact channels in the Americas will be fully restored within the next week.
After this cyber attack, Naval Dome CEO, Itai Sela, says that this is worrying. Mr. Sela noted that despite the fact the company took precautionary measures, it must make sure that the attack has indeed been contained. Nevertheless, this attack along with the attack against Maersk last year can provide valuable lessons.
