Data I/O's intrusion came through the firewall itself, a vulnerability in a commercial third-party appliance, the box sold to be the perimeter serving instead as the door. The August 16 ransomware froze shipping, manufacturing, and communications at a company that programs chips for Apple and Bosch, and cost roughly $388,000 before systems returned by September 4. No group has claimed it and no customer data theft has surfaced, leaving the entry point named and the intruder anonymous.
