“We are currently carrying out maintenance work,” reads the release. However, the cause of the technical break can be very serious.
Garmin does not yet directly address server problems. The message, which users also see in Poland, only informs about maintenance works.

Garmin: Ransomware has stopped production. What about the users?
Meanwhile, ransomware is responsible for the technical break. Some suggestthat the Evil Corp organization is behind the attack, which has taken its toll on banks. According to Asian media, there was an attack on the company’s employees. The consequences include broken part of production lines in Asia.
In turn, for users, this means, for example, losing history from a smart scale. This is what happened to the journalist Niebezpiecznika.
We are currently experiencing an outage that affects Garmin Connect, and as a result, the Garmin Connect website and mobile app are down at this time. (1/2)

The attack will not affect the work of Garmin devices, as long as we turn a blind eye to the lack of access to archival statistics. Those who would like to join the ranks of the company’s equipment owners may also have a problem. Both the website and the shop are not working properly at the moment. It remains to wait for the manufacturer’s explanations.
