Continental: Some data stolen in August cyberattack

BERLIN (Reuters) - German tyre and automotive parts maker Continental said on Monday that a cyberattack it reported in August had resulted in some data being stolen from the company.

The investigation into the incident is still ongoing, said a spokesperson for the company in a statement.

German daily Handelsblatt earlier on Monday reported that 40 terabyte of data had been stolen during the attack, and that the cyberattackers had demanded ransom.
