Ingram Micro says ongoing outage caused by ransomware attack

Ingram Micro, a U.S. technology distributing giant and managed services provider, said on Monday a ransomware attack is the cause of an ongoing outage at the company. The hack began on Thursday, after which the company's website and much of its network went down. Late on Saturday, the company said in a brief statement that it was working to restore systems so it can begin processing orders again. Ingram Micro on Monday alerted shareholders to the breach before markets opened in the United States. California-based Ingram Micro is one of the world's largest technology distributors, shipping tech and hardware to companies around the globe. It is also a managed service provider for its customers' clouds, effectively acting as an outsourced IT department for smaller corporate customers. The outage is reportedly affecting software licensing, preventing Ingram Micro's customers from using or provisioning some products that rely on Ingram's systems. No major ransomware group has taken credit for the breach yet, but Bleeping Computer reports that the hack was caused by the SafePay ransomware gang. It's not uncommon for ransomware gangs to name hacked companies and publish portions of stolen data in an effort to extort victims into paying ransoms. Ingram Micro spokesperson Lisa Zwick did not immediately return a request for comment. Do you know more about the ransomware attack at Ingram Micro?

Summer gas prices are headed even lower, as Saudi Arabia accepts the 'lesser evil' of cheap oil

OPEC+ is boosting oil output, tanking prices as US summer travel peaks. OPEC leader Saudi Arabia is aiming to regain market share amid US shale competition and slow Chinese demand. Oil prices could stay lower for longer on OPEC's production ramp up, analysts say. Gas prices at the pump could get even cheaper just as Americans hit the highways for summer travel. Over the weekend, OPEC+ jolted markets by announcing it would flood the market with even more oil. Eight producers, including heavyweights Saudi Arabia and Russia, plan to ramp up output by 548,000 barrels a day in August — handily beating the 411,000-barrel increase analysts were expecting. The move sent oil prices tumbling on Monday, a sharp contrast to the surge in prices last month caused by heightened Middle East tensions. US benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures were 1.4% lower at $66.05 a barrel at 12:08 a.m. ET, while international Brent crude futures were 0.7% lower at $67.83 a barrel. The price slump lands right as peak summer season kicks in, with millions of Americans hitting the road, and when demand for air conditioning soars. Gas averaged $3.16 a gallon in the US on June 30, down 11% from the same time last year, according to the Energy Information Administration. About half the cost of a gallon of gas comes from crude oil. A $1-per-barrel drop in the price of crude oil would translate into a decline 2.4 cents per gallon of gas, according to the EIA. OPEC+ said it's lifting output thanks to "a steady global economic outlook and current healthy market fundamentals, as reflected in the low oil inventories." But analysts see something bigger at play. The output ramp-up is widely viewed as a bid by the oil cartel to claw back market share in the face of stiff competition from US shale and tepid demand from a prolonged slowdown in China. De facto OPEC leader Saudi Arabia, in particular, appears willing to stomach lower oil prices to preserve its dominance. This stance comes even as the International Monetary Fund estimates Saudi Arabia needs oil prices to be over $90 a barrel to balance its budget. But "softer oil prices may be the 'lesser evil' for Saudi, OPEC+, and arguably for the global economy, all things considered," Vishnu Varathan, Mizuho's head of macro research excluding Japan, wrote in a Monday note. Lower prices may help Saudi Arabia reclaim lost market share, score political points by answering President Donald Trump's calls for cheaper oil, and cement Riyadh's influence within OPEC and the broader Middle East. "To that end, softer prices in the interim is a palatable enough (albeit a tad bitter) trade-off, that is facilitated by inherent advantage of comparatively lower cost of production," Varathan added. Saudi Arabia's strategy for OPEC+ could keep a lid on prices for a while. Analysts at Goldman Sachs expect another production boost of 550,000 barrels a day of oil for September. The bank is keeping its Brent forecast of $59 per barrel average in the fourth quarter of 2025 and $56 a barrel in 2026. Commodity strategists at ING wrote that oil supply would tip into surplus should OPEC+ boost production by the same amount in September. "This supports the view that there's further downside for oil prices," the ING strategists wrote. Read the original article on Business Insider

Gadsden State camp aims to spark students' interest in high-tech fields

Students who are well-versed in science, technology, engineering and mathematics will be better prepared for the jobs of tomorrow. That's the concept behind Gadsden State Community College's STEM and Career Camp, held June 16-18 at the Advanced Manufacturing and Workforce Skills Training Center on the East Broad campus. Middle school students engaged in a wide array of hands-on learning experiences during the camp, according to a GSCC news release. 'This camp is a perfect example of how Gadsden State is investing in the next generation,' said Andy Robertson, dean of workforce development at GSCC, in the news release. 'We're showing students that college and high-demand careers are within reach. Events like this help spark curiosity and confidence in students at a critical age,' he said. 'They leave here realizing that careers in engineering, health care, and technology are not only possible — they're exciting.' The free camp was led by environmental engineer Jerome McQueen, who emphasized the importance of early exposure to career pathways and skill-building opportunities. 'I developed my own initiative — I call it AcaSTEMics. And I really mean STEM-based academics, because I know from my own background it is very important that we get our kids involved in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics as early as we can,' said McQueen who earned a master's degree in engineering as a NASA Graduate Fellow studying air pollution control at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Cleveland.

"When they have seen how much fun STEM can be in the beginning, when the hard stuff comes along, they will have this guiding light of where they want to go.' McQueen said it's never too early for students to think about their future. 'I also express the importance of learning what we can right now so they can eventually fund their livelihood and create great things for their future,' he said. GSCC fully funded the camp, which was organized in collaboration with Gadsden City Schools and other local partners. One interested observer at the camp was Alan Smith, interim president at Gadsden State. 'Gadsden State is proud to lead initiatives that support youth, education and workforce development in our region. This camp brought all those priorities together in an exciting and meaningful way through hands-on STEM experiences,' Smith said. 'It's part of our mission to meet students where they are and inspire them to see what their future could look like in high-demand STEM fields," he added. "This kind of outreach lays the groundwork for long-term success in our communities.'
