South African platinum giant Sibanye-Stillwater has experienced a cyberattack on its IT system since Monday morning. The company said the attack caused limited disruptions to its global operations, with its core mining and processing business functioning normally.
Sibanye-Stillwater proactively isolated its IT system to protect its data. The company has engaged external experts to investigate the breach and restore the system. While the exact cause of the attack is still being determined, no ransom demands have been received.
The attack has impacted the company’s server and IT system globally. However, the company’s mining and processing operations in South Africa, the US, and other countries remain unaffected.
Sibanye-Stillwater continues to work towards fully remediating the effects of the attack. The company has assured stakeholders that its focus remains on protecting its data and ensuring the smooth running of its core operations.
