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

Is mail traffic with the SCHUNCK GROUP secure?

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).

When did you discover the IT security incident?

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.

Do I have to resubmit documents that I sent to the SCHUNCK GROUP from 1 October 2023?

No, these are available and will now be processed step by step, we will contact you again for this.
