Swiss engineering firm Schlatter says the IT network is affected by the cyber attack

Schlatter Industries’ network was attacked with malware on Friday and it can be assumed that it was a professional attack, the Swiss company said on Monday.

The group was hit by a cyberattack using malware on Friday, and the unknown perpetrators were trying to “blackmail Schlatter,” it said, without giving further details.

The group was investigating whether the data had been stolen and experts were working to get all systems up and running again, Schlatter said.

The engineering company said it immediately initiated security measures and involved the relevant authorities.
