Oiltanking Deutschland — ransomware attack on fuel-loading systems
1–3 February 2022
Germany (Hamburg-area terminals affected)
What happened
A ransomware attack disrupted Oiltanking Deutschland's automated fuel-loading systems at its German terminals, forcing a switch to manual loading and rerouting to alternative depots; supplies to roughly 200 petrol stations were disrupted as a result. The attack coincided with similar disruption at Belgian terminal operators (SEA-Invest and Evos) during the same window. The identity of the attacker was not established in the cited reporting.
