Accounting software provider Tipalti investigating alleged ransomware attack

Accounting software giant Tipalti said it is investigating reports of a ransomware attack after a gang spent the weekend attempting to extort the company and its customers.
On Saturday, the Black Cat/AlphV ransomware gang claimed that it attacked the California-based company and began to threaten several of its most well-known customers, including Roblox, Twitch and others.
Tipalti did not respond to requests for comment but released a statement on Monday afternoon on social media sites.
The company makes software for accounting and payment automation, processing more than $50 billion in payments annually through a customer base of over 3,500.
Since emerging in 2010, Tipalti has slowly become one of the largest accounting software firms, winning numerous awards this year for its products.
BlackCat/AlphV reposted the company to its leak site on Monday, claiming that it was reaching out to the Tipalti customers from which it stole the most amount of data.
The gang has shown a particular interest in the financial services industry.
Black Cat/AlphV caused widespread outages on point-of-sale technology used widely by restaurants after an April attack on payment processing giant NCR. In the last month alone, two attacks have caused real-world effects on people and companies.
Later, an attack on Fidelity National Financial - a Fortune 500 provider of title insurance for property sales - caused significant outages that snarled thousands of home purchases, stopping hundreds of owners from completing their deals.
Those attacks came after the group caused the shutdown of parts of Las Vegas following their infiltration and crippling of MGM Resorts in August.
Kremlin-backed hackers attacking unpatched Outlook systems, Microsoft says.
