The cyberattack did not affect the company’s business, manufacturing or the operational capacity of the company’s factories.
“While we have been working on cybersecurity across the entire organization for multiple years, we were not immune to this attack. We sincerely regret the breach and any consequences it causes,” says President and CEO Paul Sohlberg. “We need to thoroughly review the full extent of the incident. The disclosures published today are taken as a pre-emptive measure to secure the interests of our stakeholders. We are also taking the incident as an inducement to further strengthen our already rigorous cybersecurity procedures and to support our people with even better tools and training.”
