British manufacturing company Morgan Advanced Materials has been hit by a cyberattack. The company said some of its servers were taken offline to contain the attack, leading to limited email service and other network restrictions. But very little information has been published about the extent of breach, a decision which one analyst says could prove to be a mistake as it may lead to more anxiety for customers and suppliers.

The exact nature of the attack hasn’t been revealed but it is described as a “data security incident” which was spotted on Sunday. A third party company was brought in to carry out forensic analysis of the network to better understand the nature of the attack and help prevent further damage to the network.

Customers and suppliers are being contacted by company representatives to manually process existing and up-coming orders. A statement from Morgan Advanced Materials to its clients said: “we appreciate your patience whilst we are working hard to resolve this issue and minimise disruption to our valued customers.”
