Another ransomware attack on Swiss company
After Comparis, the track construction machine company Matisa from Western Switzerland is hit: The machine manufacturer is also victim of a ransomware attack. The same group that recently encrypted data at Comparis is said to be behind it.
A cyberattack has been perpetrated on the Vaud-based company Matisa. How "Watson" reports, the same group is said to be behind the attack that recently took over the comparison portal Comparis under fire. The Swiss company, which manufactures machines for track construction, reports on their website, to have become a victim of a ransomware attack.
The procedure corresponds to the same pattern as recently at the comparison service Comparis. The group behind it, "Grief," is said to have attacked all of Europe recently. The hacker collective is considered to be particularly aggressive. It usually does not engage in protracted negotiations and, if unsuccessful, does not miss the opportunity to publish internal company documents on the darknet. In the case of Comparis, no ransom was paid to the blackmailers. However, Comparis has advised its users to change their passwords immediately.
According to "Inside Parade Ground", the same cybercriminals are said to have recently carried out a cyberattack on V-Zug - but without success, as a company spokesperson is quoted in the report. An attack also recently took place at the medical manufacturer Sieggried.
