Two German energy providers hit by cyberattacks

The German energy provider Entega reported a cyberattack over the weekend, impacting their online services and the email accounts of the 2,000 employees. The critical infrastructure of the energy network was not compromised. Stadtwerke Mainz and a regional waste disposal company both reported issues as well.

Reports indicated that these organizations all use the same service provider, which might have been the attack vector in these incidents. According to a recent study by N-able, 90% of MSPs suffered a successful cyberattack in the last 18 months.
