Evotec

The IT systems of Evotec were the target of a cyberattack, according to Evotec. In order to protect against data corruption or breaches, the systems were proactively shut down and unplugged from the Internet.

According to the organisation, a study of the impact's extent is now being done while the IT systems are being evaluated.

According to Evotec, business continuity is maintained across all of the company's locations, but systems are still not connected, therefore there may be delays or delayed partner responses.

To determine the scope of the attack, a forensic investigation of the breach is currently being conducted, and the appropriate authorities have been informed.
