What is going on at Desert Tech? (Layoffs & Cyber Attack)
This video details a ransomware attack and subsequent layoffs at Desert Tech, a Utah-based firearms manufacturer known for its bullpup designs. The attack encrypted all company systems, including backups, leading to a significant operational halt. Desert Tech reportedly refused to pay the $300,000 ransom, opting for a manual recovery process. This incident, coupled with pre-existing product reliability and quality control issues, has resulted in substantial workforce reductions and the shelving of R&D projects.
