No one can use the computers at all. They came on the floor and told us to unplug the computers.
Team center and a bunch of stuff hasn't been working all day. 2nd shift basically were sent home.

Hello. I'm a journalist following the Honeywell situation and interested in learning more. Please feel free to contact me securely and anonymously on Signal at 202-763-3303 or sean.lyngaas@protonmail.com.
Some low-level IT security specialist heads will roll. But incompetent Pres, VPs, CDO's will keep their jobs. Move along.
Wait. Cyber Security reviews are required for all programs, and must be signed off by a CS chief. We built up a huge CS COE. Are they only doing internal whipping but have done nothing in defense of CS attacks from external sources? So much for selling hon as a software industrial comp.
Sorry for the factory folks due to end of quarter hockey stick push to ship products
Honeywell hacked? I am Shocked, shocked I tell you! If hackers only knew the level of unpreparedness for such an event by the Upper level of the company. This sounds like when some one tried to print a million page document and it brought SAP grinding to a halt. Nothing to see here, MOVE along, these aren't the droids your looking for.
If ransom wear, wonder how much bitcoin they're asking for. Acer had a $50 million one by Devil last week and they are a $3 billion company.
Hon worth $144 billion, so ransom around $2.4 billion for the encryption key to unlock before releasing data to the public?
It wouldn’t surprise me if the masked ransomware bandit turns out to be DA himself.
I wonder how they feel about centralizing all the tools teams into bangalore and corporate now?
Lets make the entire company depend on one set of computers and a perfect network all supported by email and remote workers.
Laughing my pipped out the door — off.
Good thing they have cyber security insurance... now they get to find out it is useless if you could have prevented the issue.. and you can always prevent it.
Snicker Bar!
What about Becoming your "very" Best?
Good Times! Wish I were back there. These kinds of situations bought out the creativity in me. Unfortunately, when I unselfishly managed to keep the boat afloat not one but at least three times, company wide, I was initially given a Kit Kat Bar......After a few days, however, I was awarded the #3 spot for employee of the month parking. The candy bar was trashed. Somehow, Acting with Urgency, Thinking big and making it happen, Going Beyond, Having a Passion for Winning, Being Courageous, Being a Zealot for Growth and Inspiring Greatness only gets you a 5 block rating and a Kit Kat Bar.........wow
Is it a virus or hack or just network issues?
Yes everything down in Minneapolis as of today still. Management,well the opps manager, had his hooligan yes men supervisory squad text group leaders and ask to get a voluntary crew in on Saturday and Sunday to produce without having proper data transfer to ensure a quality part is created. Anything for delivery right. This place is a joke. So is management. The only reason production employees stick around is cause of the pay. Management preaches "self managed work teams" but always contradicts that when the pressure is put on. Bypassing print requirements just to move product... nothing speaks high quality like that. Our HR department holds on to employees that have far greater than 60 hours of lost time creating a hostile work environment between production employees. They perform investigations and divulge names of previously questioned people along with what each person said. I am actively looking to get out of this cesspool of bs management that preaches the good word but does not live it.
Be prepared for them to pull your merit this week because of the lost in revenue.
Only announcement was the one from Corporate IT yesterday morning. "... get off the network immediately.." Not a word from any manager / leader yet.
Honeywell is down, servers hacked, going on two days now. Completely and utterly off line. Cant even print labels unless we use our own phones as a hot spot. Nothing on the news, very odd.
Don't they peddle themselves as cybersecurity experts, along with all the other failing defence contractors looking to bolster their income with easy government money.
Several 'leaders' are posting out messages to the employees to come out with plans to circumvent this block and make shipments regardless. How typical of these 'leaders' who do nothing that adds value other than whipping out the cane. One such leader actually threatened an employee to release shipments to make quarter end closing revenue or risk an unfavourable rating in his performance.
I do hope that the employee reports this 'leader's' attitude of preaching for integrity and compliance and yet practises the opposite under pressure. Bloody disgrace.
It is ransomware. It encrypts hard drives of servers and pcs and spread across network to other devices. It is the standard model which demands pay in BTC in order to get key to unencrypt those drives, if not paid, they will release data to public. But question is, if they get any relevant data.
So much for being cybersecurity experts, and of course, we will never be told the true story for reasons of “security”.
That's no excuse. Get to work, go above and beyond, think creatively and MAKE IT HAPPEN! Or else there will be plenty of free overtime.
Most innovative company of the year they said. What a joke.
Same thing happened in clwr.
OP. It's down world wide. Only local screens for plants are working. Something about VPN and malware stuff all we heard here in IL.
