After ENDE and Cosal were targets of hackers, this time it is the telecommunications company Infrasat that is forced to pay to avoid having its secrets illegally exposed. BNA has already been forced to tighten security in the IT system.

Infrasat, a telecommunications company, was the victim of a computer attack last week, as determined by an internal source to the newspaper Valor Económico.

“Infrasat, a telecommunications company, recently faced a computer attack which, according to information from internal sources at Valor Económico, did not cause significant damage to its system due to the existence of a backup. However, hackers managed to gain access to confidential company data that was stored on the system.

The attack, which occurred last week, highlighted the importance of cybersecurity procedures. Even with the system affected in a relatively limited way, the company had to deal with the theft of sensitive information that could have serious implications for its security and reputation.

The competent authorities have already been informed of the incident and are investigating the case, while Infrasat takes additional measures to reinforce its cybersecurity and prevent future attacks. This incident serves as a reminder of how companies are constantly exposed to cyber threats and the need to invest in robust preventative measures to protect their critical assets and data.”
