What happened
Eletrobras disclosed that ransomware reached part of the administrative-server network at its nuclear subsidiary Eletronuclear. The affected network was separate from the operational systems of the Angra 1 and Angra 2 nuclear plants, and the company reported no impact on plant operations. Brazilian government cyber-response and nuclear-security bodies were notified. No reliable evidence supports the supplied August 2021 date or attribution to Black Basta, a group that emerged later.
