Stelco got hacked.
The steelworks company announced that it was criminally attacked with the target being their information systems.
Stelco says countermeasures were taken immediately and the scope of the attack was limited.
With that, certain operations, including steel production, were temporarily suspended as a precautionary measure but have since resumed operations.
Staff at Stelco have contacted us, letting us know the hack took place late Thursday going into Friday.
Internal emails show it was a ransomware outbreak on the system.
According to the emails sent to the station, employees were asked to immediately turn off any devices connected to Stelco immediately until a solution was found.
