Cyberattack at Romanian Energy Supplies
On Monday, Electrica announced it is collaborating with authorities to investigate an "ongoing cyberattack." "Initial investigations show that it was a ransomware attack. The network equipment has been removed and is not affected," Energy Minister Sebastian Burduja said. "The SCADA systems of Distributie Electric Power Romania are fully functional and insulated, and our technical teams, together with our security partners, are already on the ground to eliminate any risk."
To secure its infrastructure, Electrica Group has implemented temporary protective measures, which have led to some disruptions in customer interactions. However, the company emphasized that these measures are precautionary and designed to ensure the overall security of its operations. Electrica’s primary concern is maintaining the continuity of electricity supply while also safeguarding the personal and operational data of its customers.
