Röhr + Stolberg GmbH

Röhr + Stolberg GmbH is a company headquartered in Germany. The organisation operates under the name Röhr + Stolberg GmbH. On 23 October 2023, it suffered a ransomware attack that disrupted its operations. The attack forced the company's systems to go offline. As a result, normal business activities, including production, were interrupted. The incident prompted the organisation to notify relevant authorities, including police and data protection agencies. At the time of the breach, any potential unauthorized access to data remained unconfirmed.

To restore services, the company brought its servers back online while keeping them isolated from the internet as a precaution. Most functionality, including production, was regained within approximately one week. During the recovery, communication with external parties was rerouted through secure devices situated outside the compromised environment. Alternative contact methods were made available to customers, partners, and other stakeholders. The organisation explicitly stated that its banking details had not changed and warned recipients to ignore any contradictory messages claiming otherwise. It urged anyone receiving such fraudulent communications to report them to the appropriate channels. Ongoing recovery efforts continued after the initial week, with the company promising to provide further updates as the situation evolved.
