Ransomware was rumored to be the cause of the Garmin blackout, which seemed to be corroborated by a leaked internal memo last Friday. A spokesperson seemed to confirm this in a press release, saying that “[Garmin] was the victim of a cyber attack [sic] that encrypted some of our systems.” The company was able to get some functionality back online as of Monday morning. Owners of Garmin’s fitness trackers are relieved to be able to sync with servers again, but some of the systems are still down.
