French camping giant Trigano, which owns brands including Chausson and Challenger, was victim of a ransomware cyber attack on 9 February this year which blocked parts of the company’s servers.

The company says several of its busines units in France, Italy, Spain and Germany had to slow or stop production as a result of the attack.

A statement from Trigano said: “A team of experts was mobilised to assess and then deal with the consequences of this attack, which does not seem to have reached the ERP data. Accompanied by Trigano teams, it is actively working on setting up back-up systems and applications that will allow running first in downgraded mode and in a secure manner, while continuing necessary investigations for the complete restoration of systems. 

“At this stage of the investigations, it does not appear that any personal data has been stolen.”

Trigano hopes that any reduction in business unit production caused by the attack should resume to full capacity during the next week. Any operating losses caused by the incident are covered by the cybercriminality risk insurance policy that Trigano has.
