No TNT data was breached, and FedEx’s other operations were not affected, but the attack could have a material financial impact, according to a press release. TNT’s services are moving, though slower.
Only one day before FedEx announced it was hit, cyber attacks crippled companies including Merck and Britain’s WPP, as well as the Ukrainian government.
