Quartz is a type of malware, a malicious software designed to exploit and damage computer systems. It can infiltrate systems through suspicious downloads, emails, or websites, often without the user's knowledge. Once inside, it has the potential to steal personal information, disrupt operations, or even hold data hostage for ransom. The malware has been in the news recently, with OpenAI stating that the New York Times paid someone to hack ChatGPT using Quartz.
Blackbaud, a company that has been named to Newsweek's list of America's Most Responsible Companies, Quartz's list of Best Companies for Remote Workers, and Forbes' list of America's Best Employers, has also been affected by this malware. Blackbaud has also been recognized on the Forbes Cloud 100 list, Fortune’s Cyber 60, Redpoint’s Infrared 100, and Quartz’s Best Companies for Remote Workers. However, the specifics of how Quartz malware impacted Blackbaud are not provided in the given information.
