Insurer Baloise Targeted in Cyber Attack

The Basel-based insurer suffered a cyber attack early this week.

Baloise detected an attack on parts of its IT infrastructure on Monday, it said in an statement Tuesday.

According to current reports, no company or customer data was stolen in the attack. Baloise took countermeasures within a short time to fend off the attack and identified that its German subsidiary Basler Deutschland, was targeted, the statement said.

Baloise’s service traffic could suffer further restrictions, it said.

We will continue to do everything we can to protect Baloise and data of its customers and partners from such attacks, the statement said.
