Bayer Schilder Targeted by Lockbit2 Ransomware Group

Bayer Schilder, a company with over 75 years of experience in manufacturing innovative and high-quality products, has been targeted by the ransomware group Lockbit2. The attack was announced on the group's dark web leak site, and the victim's website is currently under threat.

Bayer Schilder operates in the Manufacturing sector and is renowned for its expertise in various areas, including traffic technology (screen printing, digital printing), signage for objects, advertising technology, textile printing, technical screen printing, guidance systems, special constructions in metal construction, and digital information systems such as digital notice boards for municipalities, digital signage for commercial and industrial sectors, and customer-oriented solutions.

The company's size and industry position make it a valuable target for threat actors. Bayer Schilder's extensive experience and diverse product offerings in various sectors, including transportation, signage, and digital information systems, could potentially expose them to a wide range of vulnerabilities.

The Lockbit2 ransomware group, known for its aggressive tactics, often targets large organizations and demands high ransoms. Active since at least 2019, the group has been linked to several high-profile attacks.

The attack on Bayer Schilder serves as a reminder of the ongoing threat posed by ransomware groups and underscores the importance of robust cybersecurity measures to protect against such attacks.
