The ransomware attack has caused significant concern for Lürssen’s customers, many of whom have placed orders for custom-built yachts worth millions of dollars. The company has assured its customers that it is working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible and minimize any impact on their orders.
The attack on Lürssen is just the latest in a series of high-profile ransomware attacks targeting businesses around the world. These attacks have become increasingly common in recent years, with cybercriminals using sophisticated techniques to infiltrate and disrupt the operations of their targets.
