The world's largest provider of automation and electrification technology, ABB of Switzerland, acknowledged a data breach following a ransomware attack that purportedly affected its business operations.

The company's Windows Active Directory was compromised by the attack, infecting hundreds of devices, according to BleepingComputer, which broke the news of the incident first.

According to BleepingComputer, the Black Basta ransomware organisation was responsible for the attack, which also caused some projects to be postponed and affected some of the corporate factories.

The company claimed via a news release that threat actors gained unauthorised access to several ABB systems, installed ransomware, and stole some data.
