My husband works for this company. Crown requires all employees to perform cyber security training every three months. They also send simulated attacks. As you stated this is a 19k employee company. Of course there are going to be people that do not adhere to the proper protocols. Which my husband was advised that is exactly what happened. Also employees get paid every two weeks. This started on an off week and everyone was paid on Friday whether they worked or not. Crown treats their employees well, raises/performance reviews are given every 6mos. How many company’s do that? You guys do a great job, please make sure to fact check before, posting something like this. Putting out misinformation could really hurt a company that already is down.

Production stopped. Service never quit working, we just went to paper work orders.

Are the techs getting paid though? That seems to be the biggest confusion/discussion in the various forums.

[@widowmaker1025]

@@deezelfairy I've been told they will pay us the same as our last paycheck then equal it all out after system is back up. Don't quote me, but I've heard they will do the same for factory workers. Not sure what what that will look like as I'm on service side.

This video is nothing but speculation about what happened in this cyber attack. The hosts also act like they don't know anything about large corporation cyber attacks. Why did Bryan even mention paying the ransom? You never do that because you will be marked as someone who pays and will be targeted forever. Also it is very common to release very little information while the initial attack analysis is being performed. In fact the FBI recommends that you do not release information while the initial investigation is happening.

Everyone pays. Every single time. If someone tells you they didn't, they are lying.

And Crown employees are having a hard time trying to get unemployment since the payroll information was compromised as well....payroll is in house.

Lots of dis information in this video

it took TVH 3-4 months to recover from the hack last year.

Who took credit for the ransomeware attack on crown?

[@deezelfairy]

The cyber attack on Belgium company TVH last year caused absolute mayhem in the forklift industry, more so than this Crown attack. They are about the only supplier of aftermarket forklift parts in the world. It eas an interesting few weeks and parts on back order for months after.
