Far Niente Winery experienced a ransomware incident on August 21, 2017, where an unauthorized individual encrypted files on the company's network and demanded a ransom. The attacker had access for several hours prior to encryption. Although there is no evidence data was viewed or obtained, affected individuals' names, addresses, and Social Security numbers were stored on the network. The company did not pay the ransom, restored files from backups, and offered one year of credit monitoring.
