Nolato has been exposed to a data breache. To investigate, remedy and minimize the impact, Nolato has activated IT expertise which, together with internal staff and external suppliers, conduct intensive work. The intrusion means that Nolato's communication channels and operating systems are mainly affected in the European part of the business.

According to an initial analysis, the intrusion does not affect any personal data, but the incident will be reported to both the Swedish police and the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection.

On 13 November, Nolato reported an intrusion that affected communication channels and operating systems, primarily in the European part of the business. The forceful measures taken immediately to isolate and minimize the impact have been successful. Nolato now assesses that the effects of the intrusion have been limited and no harmful encryption code has been found.

Efforts are now underway to gradually start up critical systems again and the assessment is that delivery disruptions should be able to be limited to the current week. The ambition is then to, as far as possible, produce to catch up with lost production and deliver to the customer during the coming weeks.

The intrusion has been reported to both the Swedish police and the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection.

Essential production and communication systems back in full operation

Efforts to analyze and address Nolato's IT environment following the data breach that Nolato reported on November 13 have been pursued with full force since the attack was detected. The Group's essential operating systems have been gradually secured and restarted, which means that production in our units is running as usual again. Normal contact routes via e-mail have also been restored.

A thorough review of Nolato's IT environment, carried out with the support of external experts, shows that thanks to the rapid measures taken, the attack has not had a significant or lasting effect on the systems. Nor has it led to any encryption or other loss of data.
