Increasingly more pension funds affected: The data of over 100,000 insured individuals could now be in the hands of cybercriminals
The affair surrounding the cyber attack on the software company PK Softech is expanding. In addition to the Publica, the federal pension fund, the pension fund service provider Libera and other pension funds are likely to be affected by a data theft.
A cyberattack on software company PK Softech has affected several pension funds, including Publica, the Swiss federal pension fund, and potentially dozens more. The attack, which occurred in late September, may have resulted in the theft of sensitive data, including addresses, contact information, and social security numbers. Affected pension funds also include those of Migros, the Post, City of Zurich, and Syngenta, with Libera, a pension fund service provider, also confirming its involvement. The breach could impact over 100,000 insured individuals and pension recipients.
