"German Superyacht Maker Targeted by Ransomware Cyberattack"

German shipbuilder Lürssen, which makes military vessels and luxury yachts, has recently become the target of a ransomware cyberattack.  The Bremen-based company was attacked over the Easter holiday period.  The company stated that in coordination with internal and external experts, they immediately initiated all necessary protective measures and informed the responsible authorities.  According to a local news outlet, "the cyberattack has brought large parts of Luerssen's shipyard operations to a standstill." Lürssen has built several superyachts, including the world's largest by volume, the 156-meter (512-foot) Dilbar, owned by a trust linked to Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov.  The company traces its origins back almost 150 years.
