What happened

A ransomware attack disrupted Oiltanking Deutschland's automated fuel-loading systems, forcing terminal operators to use manual processes and alternative loading points. Supplies to roughly 200 petrol stations, primarily in northern Germany, were disrupted, while Shell rerouted deliveries from other depots. This aggregate marker is placed at Hamburg as a regional reference and does not represent a single attacked petrol station.
