Last week the image.canon website from Canon USA suffered a service outage, fueling speculation that a ransomware attack had occurred. Although it was not clear whether the website service outage was related, the fact that a ransomware attack occurred has been confirmed. The operators behind Maze claimed responsibility for the attack, telling BleepingComputer that they had stolen over 10TB worth of data from the company.
