The company filed a criminal complaint with Swiss police and stated it will not pay under any circumstances. Stadler says no personal data was stolen, its IT systems and production operations remain unaffected, and only non-security-relevant technical information was taken from the supplier platform. Everest, active since 2020, has shifted from encrypting networks to pure data theft and extortion. This is Stadler's second ransomware-related incident, following a 2020 attack. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
