- The company refuses to pay the ransom and has filed a criminal complaint with police in the canton of Thurgau.
- Stadler says only non-security-relevant technical information was stolen, no relevant personal data was taken, and its IT systems and global production continue as normal.
- The incident comes after a previous cybersecurity attack on the company in 2020.
What to watch next
- Whether Everest lists Stadler Rail on its new extortion site or publishes the stolen data
