Multinational mining and metals processing company Sibanye-Stillwater says it has experienced a cyberattack that has affected its IT systems globally.

In a media release dated July 11, the company says that, as soon as it became aware of the incident, immediate containment measures were implemented in line with its incident response plan, to proactively isolate IT systems and safeguard data.

While the investigation into the incident is ongoing, the company notes that there has been limited disruption to the group’s operations globally.

“Sibanye takes this incident seriously and is committed to addressing the cyberattack.

“Our efforts remain focused on working towards the full remediation of the effects of this attack. We are voluntarily reporting this incident to the appropriate regulators and will provide further updates as necessary,” the company says.
