On November 28, 2022, Glutz AG experienced a cybersecurity incident as part of a broader wave of attacks targeting prominent companies. The organization publicly disclosed the event on the same day, promptly notifying employees, customers, business partners, and relevant authorities. Despite operational disruptions, Glutz maintained business continuity throughout the incident, with production and core functions continuing under constrained conditions. The company did not specify the attack vector or identity of threat actors in its communications. Immediate emergency measures were activated to contain the incident, though the nature of these technical countermeasures remained undisclosed.
By December 7, 2022—ten days after initial detection—Glutz restored limited normal operations through implemented security protocols and crisis management procedures. Forensic investigations involving law enforcement and cybersecurity specialists remained ongoing as of December 8, with no public conclusion timeline provided. Residual operational limitations persisted in unspecified business units, though the company emphasized these caused no qualitative impact on client services or partner deliverables.
