(6-8-24) According to a German blog—
Born’s Tech And Window World – Crown Equipment Corporation victim of a Ransomware attack
Highlights from the story-
A source who does not work directly for Crown Equipment in New Bremen, but has contacts with the staff, just told me that Crown management has officially informed the staff that they have been the victim of a ransomware attack. In another message, this source wrote that the attack was “from the inside” – an employee granted an unauthorized person access to the system.
As of June 18, 2024, this source has also confirmed that the workforce was informed that the company’s IT had been hacked by internationally active cyber criminals. The FBI is now involved in the case. IT is currently trying to get the systems up and running again by the 24th of this month. I am not personally aware of any public statement from Crown management to date.
Still no official statement from Crown officials. The web site is still down.
The last post on Crown’s Facebook page was on June 4th.
