On our own behalf: SCHUNCK GROUP customer portals and IT services are back online
Dear customers and partners of SCHUNCK GROUP,
We are pleased to inform you that most of our IT tools, services and customer portals are available again.
You can now access the following customer systems as usual:
- MySCHUNCK (SCHUNCK customer portal)
- EPASweb (IT solution for registering transports to be insured)
- PHOENIXweb (IT solution for claims processing)
- artsecur(R) Portal (IT solution for arts)
- SRM/SFM (IT solution for risk and fleet management)
- SKMweb tool (web-based fleet management)
In the course of the attack, several of our IT systems (and thus also the IT tools and customer portals) have been taken offline for security reasons. We made a conscious decision to prioritize security over speed. After rebuilding our IT infrastructure and integrating additional security measures, our established IT tools, services and customer portals are now back online, albeit with minor restrictions.
We apologise for any inconvenience that may have occurred and for your trust and understanding of this special situation.
Please do not hesitate to contact your SCHUNCK customer advisors / contact persons via the known landline and mobile numbers as well as e-mail addresses if you have any questions.
Yours sincerely
The Management Team of the SCHUNCK GROUP
Richard Renner, Peter Kollatz, Daniel Ahrend, Thomas Wicke
FAQs on IT failures at the SCHUNCK GROUP
Due to the ongoing analyses, we do not yet have any detailed information on a possible data leak. As soon as we receive information on this, we will inform you as soon as possible.
Please understand that we cannot answer this question due to the ongoing forensic analyses and investigations by the authorities.
Your SCHUNCK contact persons are available at the known landline and mobile numbers as well as by e-mail. We are currently working on restoring access to MySCHUNCK. As soon as the customer portal is accessible again, we will inform you here on the website.
Mail traffic with the SCHUNCK GROUP is possible and secure without restrictions. As part of our IT security protocol, we isolated and shut down our systems immediately after the incident became known. Together with IT security specialists, we have since taken further, even more comprehensive IT security precautions. In addition to the established procedure for cyber attacks, outgoing mails and attachments are scanned by a leading managed endpoint detection and response software (MEDR).
We identified the unauthorised access to our systems on 1 October 2023. All affected systems were immediately isolated and shut down to prevent further access. Together with external IT security experts and data forensic specialists, we immediately began analysing the incident and implementing further security measures.
No, these are available and will now be processed step by step, we will contact you again for this.
