Description
On December 6, 2022, Meyer & Meyer experienced a targeted cyber attack that disrupted its IT systems. The logistics company responded by immediately isolating affected systems to contain the incident. Björn Plantholt, the corporate communications lead, stated the organization acted "quickly and decisively" following the attack. Meyer & Meyer engaged a specialized IT partner to restore normal operations for customers while coordinating with law enforcement agencies and data protection authorities. The company promptly notified employees and business partners about the situation as part of its crisis response. This containment strategy allowed forensic investigators to work on compromised systems while maintaining some business continuity through alternative processes.
The cyber attack forced Meyer & Meyer to implement manual operational procedures to sustain partial business functionality during system outages. Plantholt acknowledged the criminal act significantly impacted business operations but emphasized the company was addressing challenges with "utmost care and responsibility" toward employees and partners. While the full scope of system compromises remained unspecified, the coordinated response included maintaining open communication channels with external stakeholders. Regional companies provided notable support to Meyer & Meyer during the recovery phase. The organization continued working with technical experts and authorities to fully resolve operational disruptions without disclosing specific timelines for complete system restoration.
