Hot Take:

Well, it seems like Nucor’s ironclad security had a bit of a meltdown. Is there a hacker out there collecting steel companies like Pokémon cards? Nucor might want to consider upgrading their cyber-fortress from “mild steel” to “hardened steel” before they end up in the scrapyard of cyber-victims!

Key Points:

  • Nucor Corporation experienced a cyberattack disrupting production.
  • Unauthorized access was detected in its IT systems.
  • Systems were taken offline as a precautionary measure.
  • Law enforcement and cybersecurity experts are involved in the investigation.
  • It’s uncertain if this was a ransomware attack or if there will be a material impact.
