A. Duie Pyle CEO Opens Up About Ransomware Attack

Ransomware attacks in the U.S. are on the rise and transportation and logistics companies have become targets of hackers, who typically infiltrate their computer systems through phishing email attachments.

One recent target of a ransomware attack was A. Duie Pyle, a large less-than-truckload carrier based in West Chester, Pennsylvania. 

Peter Latta, chief executive of A. Duie Pyle, said his company’s ransomware nightmare started around 5:30 a.m. on June 15 after dockworkers started reporting that the company’s computer systems were going down. 

He said workers followed normal protocol and sent an email to the company’s information technology help desk with no response, followed by calls to the terminal and regional managers, and finally to its chief information officer.
