On January 11, Rapattoni Corporation, a provider of multiple listings service (MLS) software, was the victim of a cyber attack that crippled its systems and rendered its software unusable.
After nearly two weeks of being offline, Rapattoni is now back online in multiple markets. The company is working with law enforcement to investigation the attack and determine who is responsible. In the meantime, they have implemented new security measures to prevent future attacks.

This could have major implications for the real estate industry, which relies heavily on MLS software.
