Ransomware Attack Impacts Employee Payrolls

(From NPR) Kronos, a leading workforce management platform, has been hit with a ransomware attack that it says will leave its cloud-based services unavailable for several weeks. The extent to which individual employees are affected depends on how their employers used the software. Employers that use Kronos to clock employees in and out of shifts may ask workers to manually track start and end times, while companies that rely on Kronos to issue paychecks are working to find backup plans to ensure their employees are paid — including issuing paper checks, some for the first time in years. It is still unclear how much personal information may have been exposed.
