Security News > 2024 > February > Critical infrastructure software maker confirms ransomware attack
PSI Software SE, a German software developer for complex production and logistics processes, has confirmed that the cyber incident it disclosed last week is a ransomware attack that impacted its internal infrastructure.
The company operates at a global level with a staff of more than 2,000 and specializes in software solutions for major energy suppliers.
On February 15, PSI Software announced that a cyberattack forced it to disconnect several IT systems, including email, as a measure to mitigate the risk of data loss.
"We detected unusual activity in our network during the night of February 15, 2024. As a result, all external connections and systems were successively shut down still in the night" - PSI Software.
Though PSI Software has not shared specific details about the threat group responsible for the attack, the Hunters International ransomware gang has claimed the breach.
The threat actors posted PSI Software on their extortion portal on the dark web on February 17, two days after the attack.
