Cyberattack cripples Jakob Becker waste-management IT and customer coordination

In late May 2022, Jakob Becker suffered a cyberattack that severely disrupted the group's IT and communications. Contemporary reporting described the waste-management business as largely unable to operate normally and relying on manual workarounds to coordinate with customers; the company's subsequent consolidated management report confirms a major second-quarter 2022 cyberattack on group IT. Specific interruption of waste-collection routes is not independently confirmed.
