French boat maker Groupe Beneteau is working on restoring operations after falling victim to a cyber-attack roughly ten days ago.
Last week, Beneteau announced that it suffered a malware intrusion on some of its servers, and that it decided to disconnect all "Information systems," to prevent the malware from spreading.
"Several production units, notably in France, will have to slow down or stop their production activities for a few days," the company said a few days after the attack.
The boat builder has immediately started recovery operations, which include "The deployment of a backup application and systems," to help it restore activities securely, albeit in "Degraded mode."
The company did not provide information on when all of its systems would be fully operational again.
"The Group is continuing with its investigations in order to find solutions to restore its IT systems to a normal and secure way of operating," the company also said.
