Wind turbine maker Vestas says “almost all” of its IT systems are finally up and running 10 days after a security attack by criminals, confirming that it had indeed fallen victim to ransomware.
Alarm bells rang the weekend before last when the Danish organisation said it had identified a “cyber security incident” and closed off parts of its tech estate to “contain the issue.”
Today the business – one of the largest worldwide to design, build, install and maintain wind turbines – said it has undertaken “extensive investigations, forensics, restoration activities and hardening of our IT systems and IT infrastructure.”
