Production at Standstill at Italian High-end Home Appliances Manufacturer

Smeg, the Italian multinational company known for its high-end home appliances, was hit by a cyberattack last Friday and was forced to suspend its activities due to the interruption of the Sap system. The disruption reportedly affected critical systems managing production processes, logistics, human resources, and accounting functions.

The firm’s headquarters in Guastalla, Reggio Emilia, proactively shut down the affected systems to mitigate potential damage, including the loss of sensitive data. Disruption affected headquarters in Guastalla and some other branches scattered throughout the country. Hundreds of employees were sent home
