Cyberattack on Engineering Firm in Germany
The engineering office Fritz Spieth Beratende Ingenieure GmbH has fallen victim to a targeted hacker attack by criminals.
Immediately after discovering the attack, our management informed the authorities and filed a complaint. At the same time, all IT systems were shut down or isolated to protect our customers, suppliers and employees.
By consistently implementing an emergency protocol and IT emergency plan, our company has returned to normal operations. In the future, we will have a compromise assessment carried out by independent experts on a continuous basis to further increase our IT security level and go beyond our previous standards.
According to the assessment of independent IT experts, there is currently no evidence that the portals we use and the emails we send pose an increased risk.
