On its website, Finalsite claims that 8,000 schools across 110 countries use its services, and it launches 300 new websites every year.
Finalsite informed customers on its status page on January 4 that it had been investigating an outage, and on January 6 it revealed that the incident was caused by ransomware hitting “certain systems” in its environment.
