One of Scotland’s biggest engineering firms has been hit by a hack of its IT systems, costing it millions of pounds.
The ransomware attack on Glasgow-based Weir took place last month, forcing it to shut down some operations.
In a statement, the mining equipment firm said it had reacted quickly to the “sophisticated” attack, but had been forced to delay shipments worth more than £50m in revenue.
Weir said there was no evidence that any personal or other sensitive data had been “exfiltrated or encrypted”.
