Security News > 2022 > April > Wind turbine firm Nordex hit by Conti ransomware attack
The Conti ransomware operation has claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on wind turbine giant Nordex, which was forced to shut down IT systems and remote access to the managed turbines earlier this month.
BleepingComputer was told on March 31st that the company suffered a Conti ransomware attack which caused the entire platform to go offline.
Multiple emails sent by BleepingComputer to Nordex to confirm if they suffered a ransomware attack have remained unanswered.
Danish wind turbine producer Vestas suffered a ransomware attack last November by the LockBit ransomware operation.
Today, the Conti ransomware operation claimed that they were behind the attack on Nordex.
The Conti gang recently suffered its own data breach after a Ukrainian researcher published almost 170,000 internal chat conversations between the Conti ransomware gang members and the Conti ransomware source code.
