US government contractor ENGlobal says operations are ‘limited’ following cyberattack
ENGlobal Corporation, a provider of engineering and automation services to the U.S. energy sector and federal government, says it has restricted access to its IT systems following a cyberattack, limiting the company to essential business operations only.
In an 8-K filing with the SEC on Monday, Texas-based ENGlobal said it became aware of a “cybersecurity incident” on November 25. It said a threat actor accessed its systems and “encrypted some of its data files,” suggesting it was the target of a ransomware attack.
ENGlobal, whose customers include the U.S. Department of Defense and Department of Energy, said it is investigating the incident.
“The timing of restoration of full access to the Company’s IT system remains unclear,” the company said. It added that it has not yet determined whether the incident will have a material impact on its financial results.
