## Summary

German defence manufacturer Quantum Systems said its systems were targeted in a cyberattack in late October. The company said the incident was contained and its drones remain safe to use, while the attack highlights growing cyber risks for European defence firms supporting Ukraine.

The company blamed “hostile actors” but did not identify them or say whether Russia was involved. It is investigating with German authorities and cybersecurity experts. Quantum Systems supplies reconnaissance drones to Ukraine and opened a factory there in April 2024; Germany announced plans in October 2026 to fund production of tens of thousands of its interceptor drones in Ukraine.
