MATLAB dev confirms ransomware attack behind service outage

MathWorks confirmed a ransomware attack that began on May 18, causing outages to customer-facing services (cloud center, file exchange, license center, store) and internal systems; some services like MFA and SSO were later restored but login and account-creation issues persist for some users. The company has notified federal law enforcement but has not identified the ransomware group or disclosed whether customer data was stolen or a ransom was paid.
