Lüchinger + Schmid AG

Lüchinger + Schmid AG is a company headquartered in Switzerland. It operates under the alias Lüchinger + Schmid AG. The organisation is a subsidiary of the Swiss retail cooperative Migros. Its primary location and legal registration are in Switzerland. As part of Migros, it falls under the broader corporate structure of one of the country's largest retail groups.

In March 2022, Lüchinger + Schmid AG was targeted by the ransomware group SunCrypt. The attackers gained access to the company's systems and exfiltrated data. SunCrypt threatened to publish the stolen information unless a ransom was paid. Despite the pressure, the subsidiary did not make any ransom payment. The ransomware incident did not disrupt the operational continuity of Lüchinger + Schmid AG. The breach was reported to the relevant national cybersecurity authorities in Switzerland. Following the attack, Migros initiated legal proceedings against the perpetrators. The case highlighted the use of a parent company's reputation to amplify extortion attempts. No evidence was presented that SunCrypt employed its typical tactics of direct extortion calls or distributed denial‑of‑service attacks in this specific incident. The event remains documented as a notable cyber‑security event affecting a Migros subsidiary.
