Cybersecurity Breach at VT San Antonio Aerospace Addressed

: Jun 9, 2020 - : 2:20 pm

The threat from the cybersecurity incident at VT San Antonio Aerospace has been contained and is believed to be isolated to a limited part of ST Engineering’s commercial operations in the U.S

According to ST Engineering,  a sophisticated group of cyber criminals, known as the Maze group, gained unauthorised access to its IT network and deployed a ransomware attack. Investigations into the incident are ongoing.

VT San Antonio Aerospace continues to be operational. ST Engineering’s IT network in Singapore and its other businesses has not been compromised.

Upon discovering the incident, ST Engineering took immediate action, including disconnecting certain systems from the network, retaining leading third-party forensic advisors to help investigate the incident and notifying appropriate law enforcement authorities.

ST Engineering takes information security extremely seriously and as part of this process, it is conducting a rigorous review of the incident and its systems to ensure that the data it is entrusted with remains safe and secure. This includes deploying advanced tools to remediate the intrusion and to restore the affected systems. ST Engineering is also taking steps to further strengthen its overall cybersecurity architecture.
