The protective packaging manufacturer Storopack from Metzingen was the victim of a cyber attack. As a result, the company does not currently offer email support and offers very limited phone support. After learning of the cyberattack, Storopack promptly implemented the appropriate security measures and notified the police and other relevant authorities in accordance with its IT emergency protocol. The company's website is unaffected by the cyberattack; customers and partners can still call the company's locations using the phone numbers on the website. Additionally, Storopack offers real-time updates on the status there. To fully repair all systems, they are making a lot of effort.

On March 21, 2023, Storopack, Inc. fell victim to a ransomware attack targeting its parent corporation in Germany, as reported by the Maine Office of the Attorney General on July 7, 2023. The incident resulted in a data breach where unauthorized actors gained access to systems containing personal information of employees. While the exact nature of the compromised data (e.g., financial records, identification details, or internal communications) remains undisclosed, the breach poses a significant risk of internal employee data exposure. The attack originated from external hackers exploiting vulnerabilities in the parent company’s infrastructure, leading to potential long-term reputational and operational consequences. The lack of clarity on the stolen data heightens concerns over identity theft, phishing risks, or misuse of sensitive employee records. Storopack has not confirmed whether ransom demands were met or if data recovery efforts were successful, leaving affected individuals in uncertainty regarding the full scope of the exposure.
