Germany-based battery manufacturer Varta revealed on February 13 that production at five of its plants had been disrupted as a result of a cyberattack.
The attack was detected on February 12 and forced the company to shut down IT systems and disconnect them from the internet, which caused disruption to production, as well as to administrative processes.
“The extent of the actual damage cannot be determined at this time,” Varta said. “In accordance with the emergency plan for such situations, the necessary precautionary measures were implemented immediately.”
