The refrigeration specialist, Dresdner Kühlanlagenbau GmbH (DKA) with 570 employees has been the target of a cyber attack during which data was encrypted and copied. DKA is a subsidiary of the Dussmann Group. The servers were shut down as a precaution. The data protection authorities and the State Office of Criminal Investigation in Saxony have been informed and charges have been filed. DKA is in close communication with the authorities and external cyber-security experts. Operational processes in the business unit for refrigeration air-conditioning plant engineering are secure. DKA has already informed clients and employees about the cyber-attack and the data outflow. Due to ongoing investigations, we cannot say more at present.As of Bleeping Computer's reporting, it was unclear how the Nefilim actors had gained entry into DKA's network. This attack highlights the need for organizations to defend themselves against a ransomware infection, especially as crypto-malware actors continue to publicly leak non-compliant victims' data. They can do so by using these steps to prevent a ransomware infection from occurring in the first place.
