Leaseweb, a prominent global cloud and hosting provider, is diligently working to restore critical systems that were disabled in the aftermath of a recent security breach.
Furthermore, the Dutch company, known for its extensive clientele and vast infrastructure, notified its customers about the ongoing restoration efforts after discovering signs of unusual activity within specific parts of its cloud environment. The breach‘s impact on a segment of Leaseweb’s cloud-based infrastructure led to downtime for a limited number of cloud customers.

In response to the security incident, Leaseweb proactively engaged the services of a Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) cybersecurity firm to investigate and contain the breach. With a focus on maintaining security and reliability, the company implemented robust containment plans in collaboration with the cybersecurity experts.
As the investigation continues, Leaseweb expressed confidence in having effectively contained the breach, enhanced their security measures, and not identified any further unauthorized activities. This responsive action highlights Leaseweb’s commitment to safeguarding its services and bolstering its cybersecurity protocols.
