Regionale Verkehrsbetriebe Baden-Wettingen

Regionale Verkehrsbetriebe Baden-Wettingen (RVBW), also known as Verkehrsbetriebe Baden-Wettingen, operates regional transport services in the Baden-Wettingen area of Switzerland. The organisation provides bus transportation for residents and commuters within its service region. As a Verkehrsbetrieb, it is responsible for managing schedules, routes, and vehicle fleets for public transit. Its headquarters are located in Switzerland, though the exact city is not specified in the source material. The organisation’s primary market is the local population relying on public mobility solutions.

In March 2025, RVBW reported a Play ransomware attack that encrypted some internal data while leaving customer and subscription information untouched. The attack did not disrupt bus service, but caused temporary glitches in digital stop displays and office systems that were resolved within a day. Following the incident, the organisation isolated its IT network, cut external links, and conducted a full scan of all computers. RVBW refused to pay the ransom, complied with the new critical‑infrastructure reporting obligation, and is cooperating with police to investigate the breach and improve defenses. No information about the organisation’s size, ownership structure, or parent/subsidiary relationships is provided in the available sources.
