The mechanical engineering company Schlatter has fallen victim to a cyber attack. The company immediately initiated security measures and involved the relevant authorities.
The exact extent of the damage to the IT network is not yet known, Schlatter announced on Monday. A detailed investigation into the matter is still ongoing. As part of the process, it is also being investigated whether data was siphoned off.
However, it is assumed that the attack was a professional one. The unknown perpetrators attempted to blackmail the company. The experts are working intensively to make all systems available and functional again as quickly as possible.
