Tata Technologies Suspends IT Services After Ransomware Attack


Tata Technologies Ltd., a subsidiary of Tata Motors, has temporarily suspended some of its IT services following a ransomware attack that disrupted its network. The company, which specializes in automotive design, aerospace engineering, and R&D, employs over 11,000 people across 18 locations worldwide.

In a notification to India’s national stock exchange, Tata Technologies confirmed that the attack had impacted certain IT assets but assured that these have now been restored. The company emphasized that its client delivery services remained fully operational, and no customer operations were affected.

“As a precautionary measure, some IT services were suspended temporarily,” the company stated, “but has now been restored. Our Client delivery services have remained fully functional and unaffected throughout.”

A thorough investigation is underway in partnership with cybersecurity experts, though no major ransomware groups have claimed responsibility for the attack. It remains unclear whether any data was stolen. Historically, such attacks often involve data theft, which can jeopardize intellectual property and sensitive corporate information.

Instagram Security Risk

Recently, attackers took over high-profile Instagram accounts, including the official Obama’s White House account and a United States Space Force chief officer.

LinkedIn Rolls Out AI Slop Reporting button

                                         LinkedIn is trying to get a handle on the massive amounts of AI slop on the platform. To do that, the company is testing a new reporting tool that let users flag potential slop and removing the "rewrite with AI" button it once promoted on every post. With the new reporting tool, users will have the ability to flag posts as "seems like AI slop." Doing so will "privately flag" via the site's analytics dashboard that others "feel your post may have come off as inauthentic or heavy use of AI," LinkedIn's Chief Product Officer Hari Srinivasan wrote in an update. The move follows an earlier update that aimed to reduce the reach of AI-generated posts on the platform.
