Ingram Micro Confirms SafePay Ransomware Attack and Global IT System Outage Ingram Micro, one of the world’s largest IT distribution and services companies, has confirmed it was targeted in a ransomware attack by the SafePay group, causing major operational disruptions across its global network. The cyberattack, which began early on July 4, 2025, forced the company to take critical internal systems offline and suspend access to platforms such as its AI-powered Xvantage distribution system and the Impulse license provisioning platform. The attack came to light after employees discovered ransom notes on their devices. According to cybersecurity outlet BleepingComputer, the notes were linked to the SafePay ransomware operation—an increasingly active threat actor that has claimed over 220 victims since emerging in late 2024. Although the extent of data encryption remains unclear, sources suggest that the attackers likely accessed Ingram Micro’s network via compromised credentials on the company’s GlobalProtect VPN gateway. Initially, Ingram Micro refrained from publicly acknowledging the attack, stating only that it was experiencing “IT issues.” Employees in some regions were instructed to work from home, and the company advised against using the VPN service believed to be involved in the breach. On July 6, Ingram Micro officially confirmed the ransomware incident. In a statement, the company said it took immediate steps to secure affected systems, brought in cybersecurity experts to investigate, and notified law enforcement agencies. It also assured customers and partners that it was working urgently to restore operations and minimize further disruption. By July 8, the company had made significant progress in recovery. Subscription orders—including renewals and modifications—were once again being processed globally, with additional support for phone and email orders reinstated in key markets such as the UK, Germany, Brazil, India, and China. However, some hardware order functions remain limited. Palo Alto Network issued a clarification stating that none of its products were the source of the breach. The company emphasized that attackers likely exploited misconfigurations or stolen credentials, not any inherent flaws in the VPN software. This breach highlights the increasing sophistication of ransomware groups like SafePay and the risks faced by large IT infrastructure providers. Ingram Micro’s swift containment and recovery response may help mitigate long-term impacts, but the incident serves as a critical reminder of the importance of proactive cybersecurity measures, especially in environments reliant on remote access technologies.
