A cyberattack has shut down international production at Asco, a company in Zaventem, Belgium, that is a significant supplier of parts to airline manufacturers around the world. According to the company, it has shut down all manufacturing operations in Belgium, Germany, Canada, and the US, sending more than 1,000 of their 1,400 global workers home.
While many reports are calling the attack ransomware, Asco has not released information about the incident other than to confirm the effects and report that law enforcement has been notified.
