Cryptolocker Attack Impacts Logistics at Italian Precision Measurement Manufacturer

Marposs, a company specializing in precision measurement equipment, was hit by a Cryptolocker cyberattack. The impact of the cyberattack has been significant, particularly in the logistics sector. The production processes were less severely affected.

Marposs has implemented a solution to limit the consequences of the attack. The activation of emergency situation tool, "Cassa Integrazione Ordinaria" (Redundancy Fund) has been requested until February 7. This is a redundancy fund which helps companies to maintain the labour force in times of economic difficulties. It is unknown at this time how long it will take to decrypt the data stored in the company systems and restart the company's activities.
