In 2023, Germany’s IPSEN Logistics experienced a ransomware attack executed by LockBit 3.0. Known for their elaborate ransomware-as-a-service model, LockBit 3.0's techniques are highly effective in targeting firms that provide international logistics. The disruption caused to IPSEN’s operations served as a reminder of the cyber risks facing logistics providers, where even a short downtime can create cascading effects on international trade routes and supply chains.
