On July 23rd, 2020, Garmin suffered a worldwide outage where customers could not access their connected services, including the Garmin Connect, flyGarmin, Strava, inReach solutions.
After a four day outage Garmin confirmed they were restoring services. It is assumed that Garmin paid a 10 million dollar ransom to recover their data as there are no known weaknesses in the wastedlocker ransomware. Garmin has not commented further at this time to either confirm or deny the ransomware payment.
