At the first attack turn left

The American GPS and fitness-tracker company Garmin is dealing with the aftermath of a ransomware attack with owners of its products had been unable to use its services since Thursday.

Some of its online tools are now being provided in a "limited" state, according to its online dashboard.

Garmin said the cyber-attack that encrypted some of its systems but it did not say how much the hackers wanted or if the company even paid up. Early reports claimed that the company had been asked to pay $10 million to get its systems back online. It seems the company has somehow got the decryption key it needs to start bringing services back online.

"Many of our online services were interrupted including website functions, customer support, customer-facing applications, and company communications. We have no indication that any customer data, including payment information from Garmin Pay, was accessed, lost or stolen."
