Operations Impacted at Swiss Chocolate Manufacturer Läderach

The Swiss chocolatier Läderach became the target of a cyber attack on 5 September. The responsible authorities were informed immediately.

Production, logistics and administration in particular are currently affected by the cyber attack. The use of internal tools and communication channels has been reduced to a minimum as a precautionary measure. "In production, it is still possible to work completely except for a sub-area," the company specifies on request.

UPDATE 10Nov22: The logistics are now also working again and the backlogs in deliveries have already been partially made up. "Since the cash register systems are still impaired, we resort to workarounds (use of cash sales, credit card terminals)," writes Läderach.
