The entire production of the Pierre Fabre group has been at a standstill since Wednesday morning. In question: a cyberattack which would have intervened in the night around 4am. A large part of the employees had to return to their homes, production was stopped, explains a union source.
IT teams on deck
The attack, as far as the employees know, would have come from Asia even if this remains to be confirmed. The IT teams are obviously on the bridge to restart production and secure the data of the pharmaceutical and dermo-cosmetics group.
Pierre-Fabre employs around 4,000 people in Occitanie and 2,600 in the Tarn.
