IT giant Ingram Micro suffered a ransomware attack on July 3, 2025, compromising personal information of 42,521 employees and job applicants. Hackers accessed internal systems for two days, stealing names, Social Security numbers, passport numbers, driver's licenses, and employment records.
The attack forced Ingram Micro to take systems offline, causing widespread service outages until operations resumed July 9. The Safepay ransomware group claimed responsibility and allegedly stole 3.5 terabytes of data, later releasing it publicly in August when Ingram Micro apparently refused to pay ransom.
The company is offering affected individuals 24 months of free credit monitoring and identity protection services.
