Another request for comment was sent on\r\nFriday morning.\r\nJSW Steel is an Indian-owned group which has a market value of US$12 billion (A$16.9 billion), as of 31 March,\r\naccording to the website of the group's US operations. It employs more than 40,000 people globally.\r\nThe group has operations in India, the US, South America and Africa. It is part of the O.P. Jindal group and says it\r\nhas a strong presence in key sectors like steel, energy, infrastructure, cement, ventures and sports.\r\nThere are two operations in the US, in Ohio and Texas, and it is the latter which appears to have been attacked.\r\nThe Indian operations are headquartered in Mumbai.\r\nSunCrypt is a relatively new player in the ransomware space, having started operations in October last year.\r\nEarlier this year, the ransomware was used to attack the Irish company Glen Dimplex Home Appliances.\r\nPlease join our community here and become a VIP.\r\nSubscribe to ITWIRE UPDATE Newsletter here\r\nJOIN our iTWireTV our YouTube Community here\r\nhttps://itwire.com/security/ransomware-gang-attacks-texas-unit-of-global-steel-conglomerate.html\r\nPage 7 of 12\n\nBACK TO LATEST NEWS here\r\nMaximising Cloud Efficiency - LUMEN WEBINAR 23 April 2025\r\nAccording to KPMG, companies typically spend 35% more on cloud than is required to deliver business\r\nobjectives\r\nThe rush to the cloud has led to insufficient oversight, with many organisations struggling to balance the\r\nvalue of cloud agility and innovation against the need for guardrails to control costs.\r\nJoin us for an exclusive webinar on Cloud Optimisation.\r\nIn this event, the team from Lumen will explain how you can maximise cloud efficiency while reducing cost.\r\nThe session will reveal how to implement key steps for effective cloud optimisation.\r\nRegister for the event now!\r\nREGISTER!\r\nPROMOTE YOUR WEBINAR ON ITWIRE\r\nIt's all about Webinars.\r\nMarketing budgets are now focused on Webinars combined with Lead Generation.\r\nIf you wish to promote a Webinar we recommend at least a 3 to 4 week campaign prior to your event.\r\nThe iTWire campaign will include extensive adverts on our News Site itwire.com and prominent Newsletter\r\npromotion https://itwire.com/itwire-update.html and Promotional News \u0026 Editorial.
