Share

Dear Visitors,

In recent weeks, our company has been the target of a cyberattack. Despite extensive security measures, the attackers were able to gain access to parts of our IT infrastructure. We want to be open and transparent about what happened and what steps we are taking to protect your data.

What Happened?
On December 5th, the first stolen data was published on the darknet. This data includes personal information and possibly data from some of our customers, particularly from our international subsidiaries. On the night of December 12, the perpetrators made good on their threats and published stolen data on the darknet. As announced, we immediately began analyzing the published data with external support in order to identify those affected and provide further information to those affected.

Our Actions

  • We are working closely with IT security experts and the relevant authorities.
  • A specialized forensic team is carefully analyzing the published data.
  • Our systems were proactively shut down and secured to prevent further damage.
  • Employees and many customers have already been informed about the process several times via various channels.

We can only determine the extent of the data breach after completing these analyses. We sincerely regret this situation and appreciate your patience and support.

Recommendations for our Customers
To minimize potential risks to your data, we recommend the following precautionary measures:

  • Be cautious of unknown contacts: Be vigilant when receiving emails, calls, or messages from unknown senders.
  • Beware of suspicious emails: Do not open attachments or click on links in emails that seem suspicious or whose origin is unclear.
  • Recognize phishing attempts: Watch for signs of phishing emails, such as spelling errors or requests for personal information.
  • Update your passwords: Change your passwords regularly and use different, strong passwords for different services.
