Skanlog

Skanlog is a logistics provider headquartered in Sweden. The company’s primary business involves delivering distribution and supply‑chain services that enable the movement of goods. Its services are described as critical to supplying the Swedish alcohol retailer Systembolaget. This relationship was highlighted when a cyber incident targeted Skanlog’s systems that support Systembolaget’s beverage logistics. Consequently, Skanlog operates as a key link in the alcohol retail supply chain within Sweden.

On 1 April 2024, Skanlog experienced a ransomware attack that disrupted its information technology systems. The attack specifically affected the platforms used to coordinate deliveries to Systembolaget. As a result, the flow of certain beers, wines, and spirits to retail outlets was interrupted. The incident raised concerns about temporary shortages of those beverage categories. Analysts estimated that roughly a quarter of Systembolaget’s sales volume could be impacted while the broader inventory remained largely intact. Restoration of distribution capabilities was noted as pending at the time of reporting. The incident was reported by a Norwegian news outlet.

The incident demonstrates that Skanlog’s systems were vulnerable to a ransomware attack. Skanlog’s headquarters remain located in Sweden, as stated in the organisational context. No further details regarding the company’s size, ownership structure, or additional market activities are provided in the available sources.
