Information security incident at an external service provider

Munich Re has identified an information security incident at an external service provider. However, Munich Re's systems are not affected.

Munich Re currently has no contractual relationship with the company affected. For test purposes, only test files with meaningless content were sent, i.e. containing no business, client or personnel data.

Munich Re is prepared for such situations. We are following a response plan with defined processes involving all affected organisational units.

During a test phase with potential contractual partners, it is standard procedure to send files that are meaningless in terms of content.
