Switzerland’s Major Manufacturer, Aebi Schmidt, Suffers Ransomware Attack<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Aebi Schmidt, the maker of airport maintenance and road cleaning vehicles, had operations disrupted Tuesday after suffering a cyber attack.

Although most of the damage was in the European base, U.S. subsidiaries did notice the outage as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The systems necessary for manufacturing operations were inaccessible after the ransomware infected the network. In addition, the company\u2019s email was also affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A company spokesperson Thomas Schiess confirmed the company’s operational systems, business and sales systems are working and production is up and running. However, he also reported <\/a>the company\u2019s Windows network is affected and other systems were shut down as a precaution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTechnicians are working hard to restore the Windows environment, but this will take some time,\u201d Schiess said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
