Indian multinational engineering company Tata Technologies has disclosed a ransomware attack that impacted some of its IT services, though it assured stakeholders that client delivery operations remained unaffected. The revelation came through a company filing dated January 31, addressed to BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited, in compliance with SEBI regulations.
According to the filing, the attack affected a limited number of IT assets, which were temporarily suspended as a precautionary measure before being restored. A detailed investigation is underway, with the assistance of cybersecurity experts, to determine the root cause and implement necessary remedial actions.
A Tata Technologies spokesperson emphasized the company’s commitment to security and transparency. “Our client delivery services have remained fully functional and unaffected throughout. Further detailed investigation is underway in consultation with experts to assess the root cause and to take remedial action as necessary,” the company stated.
Ransomware attacks typically involve malicious actors gaining unauthorized access to a victim’s files, encrypting them, and demanding a ransom in exchange for decryption. In some cases, attackers also threaten to release sensitive data unless payment is made. Organizations affected by such incidents often invest in strengthening cybersecurity infrastructure, data encryption, and backup strategies to minimize the impact of future threats.
While specific details about how the breach occurred remain undisclosed, Tata Technologies reaffirmed its dedication to operational continuity and security. “We remain committed to transparency, security, and trust with our stakeholders. There has been no disruption to our operations, and we continue to deliver services to our customers seamlessly. We will provide updates as appropriate and appreciate your patience as we work through this situation with the highest level of diligence and responsibility,” the spokesperson added in response to media inquiries.
