Eurofins Scientific Hack: UK Law Enforcement Data “Breached”

By Securities Docket on June 25, 2019, 11:45 am

A “highly sophisticated” ransomware attack on Luxembourg-based Eurofins Scientific –which provides forensic and scientific services to a range of UK law enforcement agencies – put sensitive data at risk, in a breach that has brought in global agencies including the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).

The attack on Eurofins Scientific during the weekend of June 1, 2019, involved a “a new malware variant which was initially non-detectable by the anti-malware screen of our leading global IT security services provider at the time of the attack” the company said in a June 10 statement; since updated to reflect recovery efforts.
