SYNLAB AG Reports Cyber-Attack Impact on Operations in Italy

SYNLAB AG, the diagnostics company listed under SYAB on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, has been severely impacted by a cyber-attack targeting its Italian branch. The cyber-incident was identified early on April 18, 2024, prompting immediate deactivation of all IT systems in Italy as per the company's IT security procedures. This rapid response has led to a significant suspension of SYNLAB's operations across the region.

In response to the attack, SYNLAB has formed a task force consisting of both internal and external cyber security experts. Their aim is to mitigate effects, restore IT operations, and resume full services in Italy as quickly as possible. Law enforcement and relevant authorities have been notified and are cooperating with SYNLAB to address the situation. The company, however, has stated that the financial repercussions of the cyber-attack are currently unclear. Operations outside Italy remain unaffected by this incident.
