Latvian forestry company still restoring systems weeks after ransomware attack

A financially motivated foreign group carried out a ransomware attack on Latvijas Valsts Mezi (LVM), Latvia's state-owned forestry company, and the organization was still in recovery weeks after the incident.

Why it matters: Organizations operating critical infrastructure or managing national resources should assess their incident response and recovery capabilities, as extended downtime from ransomware can disrupt operations and service delivery.
