In April 2022, the firm experienced a ransomware attack involving the Blackbyte variant that exploited a publicly accessible system through specific ports or protocols. The intrusion was detected shortly after 4 p.m. on a Thursday, triggering immediate containment measures that prevented full encryption of the network. By the following Monday, approximately 90 percent of systems had been restored using recent backups, and the exploited vulnerability was subsequently closed. Although roughly 8 GB of internal data—including customer orders, billing records, dispatch notices, and operational planning documents—was later posted on dark‑web forums, no ransom demand was received and the incident was reported to the relevant authorities. This episode underscores the organization’s reliance on up‑to‑date backups and its capacity to execute a rapid response and recovery process when faced with cyber threats.
