On 1 April 2025 Ushio Europe B.V. experienced a cyber attack that disrupted its email systems, preventing reliable sending and receiving of messages. The incident forced the company to rely exclusively on telephone communications while internal IT staff and external cybersecurity experts worked to restore the affected services. In response, the organization began establishing alternative communication channels to maintain contact with customers, suppliers and partners during the recovery period. The attack highlighted the importance of resilient IT infrastructure for a business that depends on timely coordination of technical support and logistics. Ushio Europe B.V. has stated that it is prioritising the restoration of normal email functionality and reviewing its security measures to prevent future occurrences. As of the latest update, efforts are ongoing to bring all systems back to full operation and to ensure continuity of service.
