On Sunday, January 19, 2025, Ilem Group’s subsidiary Boost was the target of a malicious cyberattack. The attackers made a ransom demand, aiming to disrupt Boost’s operations and compromise its systems. The attack affected approximately 15% of Boost’s client base, which consists of more than 200 customers who rely on the company’s services. This breach caused significant concern, as it posed a risk to both the company’s integrity and the operations of its affected clients.
In response, Ilem Group quickly mobilized its cybersecurity team to address the situation.
The team worked tirelessly to apply necessary security protocols and restore the affected clients’ environments. Their prompt and effective actions led to a rapid containment of the situation. Within just three days, more than 70% of the impacted systems were successfully restored, minimizing downtime for most clients and ensuring the continuity of their services.
To prevent future incidents, Ilem Group has taken immediate steps to strengthen its internal security systems. This includes enhancing its protection protocols and internal processes to safeguard against potential threats. The company also proactively supported its affected clients, working closely with them to ensure minimal disruption to their operations. By reinforcing these measures, Ilem Group aims to better protect its clients and prevent similar attacks from occurring in the future.
Throughout this crisis, Ilem Group has collaborated with top cybersecurity experts and relevant authorities, including the Geneva police and federal police. The company believes in the importance of transparent and proactive management, especially in an industry facing increasing cyber threats. Ilem Group also expressed gratitude to its clients and partners for their understanding and support during this challenging period, reaffirming their commitment to maintaining trust and safeguarding the interests of all stakeholders.
