Apr 29, 2025 at 7:17 PMThe Swiss Post is facing a cyberattack on its cargo logistics division in Germany. Approximately 1,600 business customers who utilize warehousing and transportation services from Swiss Post Cargo Germany are affected. The information security team of Swiss Post is working closely with local experts under high pressure to stabilize the systems. The systems of the Post in Switzerland are not affected.
(Bern/Villingen-Schwenningen) Since last week, the cargo logistics division of Swiss Post in Germany has been unable to access its IT systems, or can only do so partially. Investigations show that a targeted cyberattack is the cause of the system failure. Local logistics, accounting, and personnel systems of Swiss Post Cargo Germany are affected. Due to the complexity of the business, the impact is most strongly felt in the general cargo sector.
Additionally, data sets from the period 2020–2025 have been stolen in the cyberattack. It cannot be completely ruled out that the attackers have also gained access to sensitive personal data. A report has been made to the relevant German data protection authority, and criminal charges have been filed. The system failure primarily affects around 1,600 business customers of Swiss Post Cargo Germany, who have been regularly informed by the responsible authorities since the onset of the issue.
Operational Business Currently Being Stabilized
Swiss Post Cargo Germany is focused on serving customers even without the normal IT systems. To continue operational business as effectively as possible, Swiss Post Cargo Germany has adjusted workflows and temporarily increased staff as part of an established emergency plan.
At the same time, IT experts from Swiss Post and Swiss Post Cargo are working hard to restore the affected systems, implement replacement systems, and further secure the infrastructure against potential future attacks. Initial progress has been made in this regard, but a return to normal operations is currently not fully foreseeable.
Other Countries Not Affected
