Symrise, a German manufacturer of flavors and fragrances used in products, has reportedly been the victim of a ransomware attack. The attack was reported by Handelsblatt, and brought to our attention by @Chum1ng0. Unfortunately Google translate is giving me a bit of a headache with this one. That said, I do not see any ransom amount mentioned or type of ransomware mentioned.
If anyone has more details, please use the Comments section below to let us know.
Have a relative working at Symrise and there’s a confirmation of ransom demands..followed by another attack!
Another attack? Maybe your relative could let us know more? They can email me at breaches[at]databreaches[dot]net.
Symrise was likely struck by Clop ransomware it seems looking at the ransom note:
