A hacking group posted data stolen from Manitoulin Transport, one of Canada’s largest trucking companies, on Friday in the latest in a string of ransomware attacks targeting firms in the country’s supply chain.

The Ontario-based carrier became aware of the attack on July 31, when some of its personnel reported systems access issues, Manitoulin Transport President Jeff King told FreightWaves.

“Our IT group jumped all over it very quickly,” King said. “No mission-critical systems were compromised.”
