"Major German Energy Supplier Hit by Cyberattack"

Enercity, one of Germany's largest municipal energy suppliers, confirmed that it had been the target of a cyberattack. The Hannover-based company said its security systems reacted immediately, preventing greater damage. Enercity confirmed that it would continue to supply energy to customers, stating that its Operational Technology (OT) and critical infrastructure were unaffected. According to the company, its grids and power plants are stable, and supply security is guaranteed. However, the attack has had an impact on customer service, which is currently unavailable. The company also stated that not all IT systems can currently be used to their full potential, implying that the limitations may be minor. The attack comes just days after Germany's federal cybersecurity office warned that the country's threat level was "higher than ever." In recent months, criminals have repeatedly targeted Germany's energy sector. Several cyber incidents in the run-up to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February impacted the country's oil and chemical sectors, as well as those of Germany's neighbors, raising concerns that they were part of a criminal campaign orchestrated by Russian intelligence. This article continues to discuss the cyberattack faced by the major German energy supplier Enercity.
