February 14, 2023 - Aker Solutions' subsidiary CSE in Brazil has become victim
of a cyber-attack that has impacted its IT systems. Aker Solutions is working to
contain and neutralize the attack, but does not yet know the full extent of the
situation.
Dialog is being established with authorities in Brazil about the incident. Aker
Solutions global IT organization is working to resolve the situation together
with external expertise.
The attack is currently directed at CSE, and the attackers claim that they have
entered the IT systems, encrypted digital files and locked access to data.
Aker Solutions have carried out several immediate mitigating actions, including
temporarily shutting down most of the IT-systems used in the CSE business
entity. So far there are no indications that other parts of Aker Solutions' IT
systems than the ones of subsidiary CSE have been infected.
CSE is a fully-owned Aker Solutions subsidiary with approximately 100 employees
in Brazil. CSE's main business is providing maintenance and modifications
services to oil and gas installations offshore Brazil.
Aker Solutions is doing its outmost to limit impact on employees, customers and
other partners.
