The Charles André group, headquartered in Montélimar, would have been the target of a cyberattack, Le Dauphiné Libéré learned on Monday February 22 from several corroborating sources.

Has the activity of this international transport and logistics company been “impacted”? Is this the work of a “ransom”, as one of our interlocutors claimed on condition of anonymity? Asked by Le Dauphiné Libéré , the group's management had not responded in the early evening yesterday.

The Charles André group is present in fifteen countries and employs more than 9,400 people. It generates a turnover of more than 1.4 billion euros.

Two weeks ago, on February 9, it was the manufacturer of motorhomes and caravans Trigano , established in several sites in Drôme and Ardèche, which was the victim of a cyber attack with the demand for a ransom . This incident had blocked part of the servers of the group which had accused a week of disturbances, requiring part of the workforce to be laid off. Previously, in December, the pharmaceutical group Fareva , headquartered in Tournon-sur-Rhône, had suffered the same fate.
