On February 24, 2024, Kampf GmbH experienced a targeted cyber attack that resulted in partial encryption of its IT systems, prompting the immediate disconnection of external connections and shutdown of affected networks. External cybersecurity experts and forensic specialists were engaged to assist with the investigation, while relevant authorities were notified and cooperation was established. Although potential data extraction could not be ruled out, the incident led to advisories for business partners to scrutinize communications for signs of compromise. Most of the group’s companies resumed normal operations shortly after the event, except for Kampf GmbH itself and its subsidiary Atlas Converting Equipment Ltd. Secure email, Microsoft Teams, and the job portal were restored following independent security reviews, and a general warning against phishing attempts was reiterated to employees and partners.
