Wind turbine manufacturer Vestas informed that on 19 November it was been impacted by a cyber security incident. To contain the issue, IT systems are shut down across multiple business units and locations.
Commenting on the incident, Vestas noted that it is working together with their internal and external partners to contain the issue fully and recover our systems.
Customers, employees and other stakeholders may be affected by the shutdown of several of our IT-systems
The company’s preliminary findings indicate that the incident has impacted parts of Vestas’ internal IT infrastructure and that data has been compromised. Currently, the work and investigation are still ongoing.
However, there is no indication that the incident has impacted third party operations, including customer and supply chain operations.
Vestas’ manufacturing, construction and service teams have been able to continue operations, although several operational IT systems have been shut down as a precaution. Vestas has already initiated a gradual and controlled reopening of all IT systems.
Vestas is doing its utmost to keep stakeholders informed about the situation and will provide further updates when possible
the company concluded.
