A single ransomware attack can halt production lines, break supply chains and derail even the best operational and sustainability plans.
In July 2025, a mid-sized Polish FMCG manufacturer experienced exactly that scenario when a targeted ransomware attack encrypted critical systems and disrupted operations across several locations.
The case shows how strongly modern manufacturing depends on digital infrastructure and how gaps in basic controls translate into real financial, legal and reputational risk.
In this article we summarise the business impact, key mistakes and practical lessons from the incident, with a focus on risk management, regulatory obligations and operational resilience for industrial companies.
A detailed, technical breakdown of the attack timeline, response actions and security controls can be found in the full case study prepared by our partner Quantifier.ai:
