Description

(AWP Alliance News) - Stadler Rail AG said cybercriminals accessed a data-exchange platform used with a supplier in mid-July 2026, exposing technical information that it said was not safety-critical. The company said its own IT systems were not compromised and no data was lost.

It said rail vehicles in service were not affected and production continues normally worldwide. The Everest Group demanded a ransom of CHF 10 million, which Stadler said it would not pay.

A criminal complaint was filed with Thurgau cantonal police.
