translated : For customers in Azero

Unfortunately, during the night of Friday 18-8-2023 at 04 a.m., Azero was exposed to a ransomware attack, where criminal hackers shut down all systems. Websites, e-mail systems, customer systems, our customers' websites, etc. Everything. A break-in that has paralyzed Azero completely, and which also hits our customers hard.

As we cannot and do not want to meet the criminal hackers' financial demands for ransom, Azero's IT team and external experts have been working hard to get an overview of the damage and what was possible to recreate.

Unfortunately, it has proved impossible to recreate more data, and the majority of our customers have thus lost all data with us. This applies to everyone we have not contacted at this time.

The hacking attack has been reported to the police

Looks to be a fairly substantial hit,

A lot of personal websites for brands/individuals that will be a PITA for anyone without backups to move elsewhere and rebuild.
