Nucor

Nucor, North America's largest steel producer and recycler, experienced a cybersecurity incident that resulted in the theft of data from its network. The attack caused a temporary halt in production at some facilities and limited access to certain IT applications. The company took proactive measures by temporarily halting production operations and notifying law enforcement and cybersecurity experts. The nature of the attack and the extent of data exfiltrated are still under investigation, but it is confirmed that threat actors exfiltrated limited data. The company has restored access to affected systems and believes the threat actors have been evicted.
