Cyberattack encrypts systems at Bavarian municipal utility

A cyberattack encrypted IT systems at a Bavarian municipal utility, though water and electricity services remained uninterrupted. The utility is in recovery from the incident.

Why it matters: Critical infrastructure operators and municipal IT teams must assess their own backup and recovery capabilities, as this attack demonstrates encryption threats to administrative systems even when operational technology remains protected.
