Services at Swiss manufacturer Schlatter disrupted in likely ransomware attack
12-August-24
Swiss industrial manufacturer Schlatter Industries AG experienced significant IT disruptions following a likely ransomware attack that targeted the company last Friday. In response, Schlatter’s internal and external cybersecurity experts are working to contain the damage, while authorities have been notified. The attack, which involved malware and an apparent blackmail attempt, suggests ransomware, with perpetrators likely seeking a ransom in exchange for decryption keys and a promise not to release stolen data. Though the motive seems financial, the incident underscores the importance of understanding how the breach occurred to prevent future attacks.
