Hackers attacked the German company Quantum Systems, which supplies drones to Ukraine. This was reported by the magazine "Der Spiegel", citing sources.
The attackers managed to place malware on the company's update server.
According to the publication, the malicious code was disguised as a legitimate update to a program designed to plan flight missions. The software is used to control Vector reconnaissance drones, which are used by Ukrainian soldiers and are in the service of the Bundeswehr called Falke.
The malicious update managed to download to the Bundeswehr servers and other clients, but did not reach the drones themselves. Quantum Systems said that the threat has been eliminated, there are no risks for operators and end users, and the UAVs are ready for use.
