Description
A cyberattack targeted Koffie Beyers, a coffee producer located in Breendonk, Puurs-Sint-Amands, Belgium, during the week of March 4–7, 2024. The incident occurred shortly after a separate cyberattack affected Duvel Moortgat, another company operating in the same industrial area of Breendonk. Local police confirmed the attack on Beyers Koffie following a report received on March 6, 2024, prompting an immediate on-site response by officers from the Rivierenland police zone. Authorities initiated an investigation to determine the scope of the intrusion, the operational impact on Beyers Koffie's production systems, and the identity of the threat actors involved. The company declined to provide public statements regarding the attack's consequences or its operational disruptions.
Police investigators are examining potential connections between the Beyers Koffie and Duvel Moortgat incidents, treating them as separate cases while analyzing technical and tactical similarities that might indicate coordinated or related threat activity. Dirk Van de Sande, a representative of the Rivierenland police zone, stated that while no definitive link had been established as of March 7, comparative analysis of both attacks remained ongoing. The investigation focuses on forensic evidence collection, impact assessment, and attribution efforts, though no group has claimed responsibility. Beyers Koffie maintained its position of withholding commentary during the active police investigation. Operational continuity measures at the coffee production facility and potential data compromise details were not disclosed by either the company or authorities.
