Return To ArticleGarmin has finally admitted that its recent outage was caused by a cyber-attack.
In an update last week, the company initially said it was “experiencing an outage that affects flyGarmin and as a result, the flyGarmin website and mobile app are down at this time.” However, following rumors online that the company had actually suffered a ransomware attack, and that it had even paid a $10m ransom, the company has updated its statement to confirm that it suffered a “cyber-attack that encrypted some of our systems on July 23 2020.”
