Cyber attack hits IP telephony supplier Innovaphone
Innovaphone, a provider of business IP telephony solutions, has been hit by a hacker. The attacker may have gained access to customer data. The German manufacturer does not think this is likely, but it cannot be completely ruled out that this information has fallen into the wrong hands.
Innovaphone thinks the hacker's motive was vandalism rather than the targeted gathering of information. Nor are there currently any indications that the attacker copied bulky data files from the Innovaphone network.
The German company has informed the police in Böblingen of the hack, it writes in a letter to relations. As a countermeasure, all PCs in the company have been disconnected from the network. All infrastructure servers are down. The connection to the internet has been lost, as have all connections to the locations and home workstations.
The company is also looking at ways to better protect customer data in the future. The incident response plan is being improved. Innovaphone works in the Netherlands and Belgium with partners including Eurosys. Innovaphone says it deeply regrets the hack.
