ST Engineering's US unit reports ransomware attack

It assured its IT network in Singapore and other businesses remain uncompromised.

ST Engineering has announced that a cybersecurity incident occurred on its US-based subsidiary, VT San Antonio Aerospace. A group of cyber criminals, known as the Maze group, gained unauthorised access to its IT network and deployed a ransomware attack, a press release confirmed.

Immediate actions were taken to contain and isolate the threat to a limited part of ST Engineering’s commercial operations in the US. Further investigations with help from leading third-party forensic advisors are ongoing, according to the press release.

Though its IT network in Singapore and other businesses have not been compromised, advanced tools are being deployed to remediate and restore the affected systems. No material impact is expected on the consolidated net tangible assets or EPS of the ST Engineering Group for the current fiscal year.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
