Nordex says preliminary analysis from the investigation into a cyber security incident that hit the company at the end of last month suggests the impact has been limited to internal IT infrastructure.
“There is no indication that the incident spread to any third-party assets or otherwise beyond Nordex’s internal IT infrastructure,” the German manufacturer said.
“While investigations are ongoing, the company is continuing to restore its IT systems such as to enable business continuity and resume normal operations as soon as reasonably practicable,” it added.
Nordex said it has now set up alternative remote control systems across most of its fleet, as part of immediately initiated business continuity measures.
The company said that in close cooperation with relevant authorities, the emergency response team of internal and external IT experts has been performing extensive investigations and forensic analysis.
Nordex detected a cyber security incident on 31 March, and in response initiated security protocols, immediately shutting down various IT systems across different business units.
Nordex turbines continued operating without restrictions and wind farm communication with grid operators and energy traders was and remains unaffected, the German turbine company said.
