Control Systems Firm PSI Struggles to Recover From Ransomware Attack

German control system solutions provider PSI Software says it is still recovering from a ransomware attack.

German control system solutions provider PSI Software says it is still recovering from a ransomware attack.

German control systems provider PSI Software this week announced that its systems are still down following a ransomware attack earlier this month.

The incident was initially disclosed on February 15, when the company announced that it proactively disconnected its systems from the internet, to prevent data exfiltration.

On Monday, the company updated its initial notification to reveal that ransomware was involved in the cyberattack and that it has yet to restore its internal IT infrastructure.

“As a result, all external connections and systems were successively shut down still in the night. We also shut down PSI’s mail system in the night, so that no mails have been sent from PSI systems since then,” the company said.

PSI also noted that it is still investigating the attack vector and that it has found no evidence that PSI systems at customer sites have been affected.

“According to current knowledge, there was no access to remote connections for the maintenance of customer systems,” the company said.

Headquartered in Berlin, PSI Software provides control systems to major European energy suppliers. Its solutions cover control, monitoring, and optimization for electricity, gas, oil, heat, and water, including leak detection and location, network utilization, operational management, and pipeline management.
