Wipro cyber attack: Critical business operations not affected; remedial measures taken, says IT firm

Wipro Ltd Friday said a cyber attack on few of its employee accounts has not impacted its critical business operations and the firm has taken remedial measures. In a regulatory filing, the company said it became aware of potentially abnormal activity within its network about 10 days back in respect of few of its employee accounts, who were “subjected to an advanced phishing campaign”.

“Upon learning of the above, the company promptly kicked off its standard operating procedure for addressing such incidents.
