A cyberattack that began September 1st has encrypted the central IT systems of Stadtwerke Landsberg, a municipal utility in Bavaria that provides electricity, water, wastewater treatment, district heating, fiber connectivity and other local infrastructure.
Summary
The utility's office and communications systems are disrupted, leaving employees with limited access to phone and email, but operational systems responsible for electricity, water and other essential utility services were unaffected and continue to operate normally. Stadtwerke Landsberg said it can't yet rule out whether attackers accessed or stole customer data, including names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and bank information.
