Security Week reports:
Swedish state-owned power grid operator Svenska kraftnät on Monday confirmed that it fell victim to a cyberattack that resulted in a data breach.
The incident, the company said, was discovered on Saturday and affected an isolated, external file transfer solution, but not the power grid. The country’s electricity supply has not been affected by the attack, the public utility’s Chief Information Security Officer Cem Göcören said.
Since learning of the attack, Svenska kraftnät has been scrambling to understand its scope and impact. The incident has been reported to the authorities, the company said.
Göcören pointed out that no additional information on the incident and the threat actor responsible would be shared now, given the ongoing investigation. However, no critical systems were impacted, the CISO said.
