Among those impacted were Swiss Chalet, Harvey&#8217;s, East Side Mario&#8217;s, and Kelseys. A &#8220;small number&#8221; of restaurants have been closed for a &#8220;temporary period of time&#8221; because of service issues related to the malware, the company said in a <a href=\"http:\/\/cara.investorroom.com\/2018-10-01-Limited-Number-of-Recipe-Restaurants-Impacted-by-Network-Outage\" target=\"_blank\">statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In a report Wednesday, CBC News described Recipe as the victim of a ransomware attack that forced several locations across Canada to temporarily close down this week. CBC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/business\/ransomware-hack-recipe-unlimited-restaurant-cyberattack-1.4847487\" target=\"_blank\">posted<\/a> a copy of a ransom note that it said had been obtained from a worker at one of the affected restaurants, who described all systems at that location as having crashed.<\/p>\n<p>In the ransom note, the hackers claimed to have used the &#8220;strongest military algorithms&#8221; to encrypt critical company files and were demanding an unspecified amount of money in Bitcoin, CBC said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The final price depends on how fast you write to us,&#8221; the purported ransom note said. &#8220;Every day of delay will cost you additional +0.5 BTC.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dark Reading was unable to independently verify CBC&#8217;s report that ransomware was the cause for the network disruptions at Recipe. The company did not immediately respond to an inquiry seeking a status update and information on how many restaurants might have been impacted, how many locations were forced to temporarily close down, and whether, in fact, ransomware was the cause.<\/p>\n<p>Recipe&#8217;s statement merely noted that the company discovered the malware outbreak Sept. 28 and took immediate steps to mitigate damage. A number of systems have been taken offline, and Internet access has been suspended to all of the affected locations.<\/p>\n<p>The measures have caused service delays at some locations, leaving them unable to accept payment card transactions. However, those locations are continuing to process card transactions manually, Recipe said. &#8220;A smaller number of affected restaurants have decided to close for a temporary period of time to avoid inconvenience to guests due to service issues,&#8221; it added.<\/p>\n<p>CBS quoted a Recipe spokeswoman as denying the incident was ransomware-related. The ransom note that the worker purportedly provided to CBS was also just a generic statement associated with malware named Ryuk that surfaced earlier this year, the spokeswoman reportedly said.<\/p>\n<p>If Recipe, in fact, was the victim of a ransomware attack, it certainly wouldn&#8217;t be surprising. Security vendor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.riskiq.com\/press-release\/evil-internet-minute-1138888-lost-cybercrime-reveals-riskiq\/\" target=\"_blank\">RiskIQ<\/a> recently estimated that 90 organizations fall victim to ransomware every hour. Just one example is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.portofsandiego.org\/press-releases\/general-press-releases\/port-san-diego-releases-additional-information-cybersecurity\" target=\"_blank\">Port of San Diego<\/a>, which last week experienced major network disruptions related to a ransomware attack. Over the course of this year, numerous others have been similarly hit, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkreading.com\/admin\/WannaCry%20Re-emerges%20at%20Boeing\" target=\"_blank\">Boeing<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkreading.com\/attacks-breaches\/city-of-atlanta-hit-with-ransomware-attack\/d\/d-id\/1331360?print=yes\" target=\"_blank\">City of Atlanta<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkreading.com\/attacks-breaches\/second-ransomware-round-hits-colorado-dot\/d\/d-id\/1331197\" target=\"_blank\">Colorado Department of Transportation<\/a>, and the Erie County Medical Center.<\/p>\n<p>RiskIQ estimates the average cost to businesses from such attacks at around $15,220. But some victims end up paying many magnitudes more. <a href=\"https:\/\/buffalonews.com\/2017\/07\/26\/cost-ecmc-ransomware-incident-near-10-million\/\" target=\"_blank\">Erie County Medical Center<\/a>, for instance, estimated it spent $10 million on recovering from its ransomware attack; the <a href=\"http:\/\/procurement.atlantaga.gov\/emergency-procurements\/\" target=\"_blank\">City of Atlanta<\/a> pegged its costs at $5 million on emergency IT services alone, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/2018\/04\/05\/samsam-ransomware-cdot-cost\/\" target=\"_blank\">Colorado&#8217;s DoT<\/a> spent more than $1.5 million.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related Content:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.deusm.com\/darkreading\/MarilynCohodas\/BHEURUOPE2018-vplug_Web_Banners_468x60_Sponsor.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"468\" height=\"60\"\/><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Black Hat Europe returns to London Dec 3-6 2018\u00a0 with hands-on technical Trainings, cutting-edge Briefings, Arsenal open-source tool demonstrations, top-tier security solutions and service providers in the Business Hall.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><em><strong>Click for information on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackhat.com\/eu-18\/\" target=\"_blank\">conference<\/a>\u00a0and <a href=\"https:\/\/blackhat.tech.ubm.com\/europe\/2018\/?_mc=nlad_x_insecr_le_tsnr_insec_x_x-bht&amp;\" target=\"_blank\">to register.<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"italic\">Jai Vijayan is a seasoned technology reporter with over 20 years of experience in IT trade journalism.
