Beyers Coffee Producer Latest Target of Ransomware Attack in Belgium, Potential Connection to Duvel Brewery Incident Unconfirmed

The latest victim of a ransomware attack in Belgium is Beyers, a renowned coffee producer. The specific ransomware involved in the attack is currently unknown, and it remains unclear whether there is any connection to a recent ransomware incident at the nearby Duvel brewery. Despite the proximity of the two companies, there is no definitive link established between the two attacks.

Belgian media outlets have reported that Koffie Beyers, the largest coffee producer in Belgium, has fallen prey to ransomware. While Beyers has not officially commented on the situation on their website, law enforcement has confirmed that a significant company in Breendonk has indeed been targeted in a cyber attack.

Many details about the ransomware incident are still unknown, including the identity of the ransomware that has affected Beyers. The close proximity between Beyers and Duvel Moortgat, the brewery hit by ransomware earlier, has raised suspicions of a potential connection. Despite these speculations, there is no concrete evidence to support this theory. Duvel Moortgat was attacked by the Stormous ransomware group, leading to a temporary halt in production. However, no information regarding an attack on Beyers has been released by Duvel Moortgat on their website. In many cases, companies affected by ransomware choose not to disclose the details of the attack while negotiations are ongoing.

Additional information about the ransomware attack on Beyers is expected to surface as investigations continue.
