Vestas IT system "up and running"

Vestas, the world's largest wind turbine, said that almost all its IT systems are “up and running”.

“There is still a lot of work ahead of us to and we must remain extremely diligent towards cyber threats. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our customers, employees and external partners for their understanding and extraordinary support in these challenging circumstances,” said Henrik Andersen, President and Chief Executive Officer in a statement.

The company said that the investigations are still ongoing; however, they added that the event has not impacted  customers and supply chain operations.

Vestas said that the cyber incident which took place on November the 19th is a ransomware that has impacted the company’s internal systems and resulted in data being compromised. 

“The extent to which data has been compromised is still being investigated, but for now it appears that the data foremost relates to Vestas’ internal matters,” said the company.

It remains what are the implications of this incident on the company.
