MSI confirms ransomware attack and advises caution with firmware updates.

Taiwanese PC vendor MSI confirmed that its network was breached in a cyberattack, following reports of a ransomware attack by the Money Message ransomware gang. The attackers allegedly stole files that will be leaked online next week if the company refuses to pay a $4 million ransom. MSI did not share any details on the timing of the attack or if any of the affected systems were encrypted, but said that the cyberattack has had no "significant" operational and financial impact, with security enhancements implemented to ensure that data stored on affected systems is secure.
