Cyber attack on lingerie manufacturer Lise Charmel

Lise Charmel, a Lyon-based lingerie manufacturer and one of France's leading producers of luxury underwear and lingerie, was the victim of a ransomware cyberattack in November 2019.

This French company was going through a major crisis at the time. Despite a system considered robust, it was unable to withstand the cybercriminals' onslaught.

As a result, the entire organization - from administrative offices to warehouses to points of sale - had to pause operations for almost three weeks.

A significant financial cost

The financial impact of this cyberattack is far from negligible. The company has been plunged into a particularly difficult period, affecting every aspect of its operations: production, design, purchasing, logistics... This is a crisis that will undoubtedly leave lasting traces.

Total losses are estimated at close to 10 million euros.

The return to production has been very slow, and the delays are immense.

#### Two years later...

Unfortunately, two years later, Lise Charmel has not recovered this loss. They have not reached an agreement with their insurer.

Instead, the company went into receivership.

Cyber risk is the number 1 risk for any company, whatever its size.
