(CNA, Taipei, May 26) IT service provider Team+ announced that its enterprise SMS platform, EVERY8D, is suspected of having been compromised by a ransomware attack. The company has activated its security incident response mechanism, commissioned Trend Micro to conduct digital forensics and investigations, and reported the case to the Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Justice to cooperate with subsequent investigations and joint defense operations.
Team+ issued a statement this evening, noting that recent anomalies in EVERY8D services were initially attributed to server hard drive data corruption. However, further detection revealed abnormal system behavior, prompting the initiation of internal reviews and security response procedures.

Multiple emergency response and recovery measures have been completed, and EVERY8D has initiated security notifications and provided status reports on damage control and recovery operations.
Regarding concerns over data security, Team+ stated that preliminary results from the official digital forensics have not yet found concrete evidence of unauthorized mass leakage of customer data, tampering with SMS content, or significant impact on financial transaction services. The scope of impact and the cause of the incident remain subject to further forensic confirmation.
Team+ further noted that it is aware of information circulating on external social media platforms and dark web forums related to this incident. All such content has been included in the scope of the formal investigation and forensics. The company will not comment on unverified content or speculation.
