Hundreds of bookstores across France, Belgium, and the Netherlands have had their operations disrupted this week after a ransomware attack crippled the IT systems of TiteLive, a French company that operates a SaaS platform for book sales and inventory management.
The incident, which took place earlier this week, has impacted bookstore chains such as Libris, Aquarius, Malperthuis, Donner, Atheneum Boekhandels, and others, according to reports from news outlets in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
This resulted in a days-long downtime of MediaLog, the company’s primary product, used by more than 1,000 bookstores, according to TiteLive’s website.
