Cyberattack forces Aurubis to process incoming and outgoing goods manually

During the night of October 28, 2022, Aurubis experienced a cyberattack against its IT systems. The company disconnected numerous systems to contain the incident, forcing incoming and outgoing goods operations to continue through manual procedures and requiring transitional arrangements for interactions with business partners. Aurubis explicitly stated that smelter production remained operational and that production was largely maintained. The defendable TRACE impact is disruption of normal goods-handling workflows, not a manufacturing shutdown or confirmed delivery shortage.
