A major logistics provider is warning that its operations remain disrupted after it was hit by an online attack of an unspecified nature. The alert comes just two weeks shy of Christmas, during a holiday shopping period that analysts have predicted will see record demand from consumers for e-commerce goods and shipping.
On Thursday, Hellman Worldwide Logistics, based in Osnabrück, Germany, posted a notice to its website saying that it had been targeted by online attackers, as Air Cargo News first reported.
“The attack was discovered and is continuously observed and analyzed by Hellmann´s global crisis taskforce,” the company says in its security alert.
“We can currently not rule out that there have been data leakages or unauthorized use of data,” the company says.
