Edenred announces that it is restoring normal operations after a malware attack
Following an attack by a malware on its information technology systems on November 21, 2019, steady progress towards restoring the impacted services has been made over the last couple of days allowing Edenred to gradually return to normal operations.
This advanced malware has been quickly identified and did not have any propagation capability.
The fast recovery of Edenred’s operations has been made possible thanks to the immediate precaution measures taken after the attack, including disconnecting systems to protect business and client operations.
Based on thorough analysis, supported by industry-leading third-party technical experts and forensics, there is currently no evidence to suggest that personal data of any kind has been stolen or accessed nor contamination or propagation to Edenred’s clients has been encountered.
Edenred remains committed to provide best-quality and continuity of service to its clients. It has acted in full transparency with them and will continue to do so.
