In a statement issued on Wednesday, the MSP said some of its IT systems became infected with a piece of malware, which impacted the services provided to certain customers.

Its investigation is ongoing, but CompuCom said there had been no indication that customers’ systems were “directly impacted by the incident.”

It added, “We are in the process of restoring customer services and internal operations as quickly and safely as possible.”

CompuCom has not shared any technical information about the incident, but BleepingComputer reported learning that the company was targeted in a ransomware attack.
