Garmin is slowly coming back online after a massive ransomware hack

Five days after a massive ransomware attack, some of Garmin's services are beginning to come back online. Sam Curry, chief security officer of cybersecurity company Cybereason, said the ransomware attack on Garmin was "crippling," and called it "the corporate equivalent of a heart attack." "The longer Garmin is offline, the cost of recovery increases and could cost tens of millions of dollars more," he said.
