CK Hutchison Holdings Ltd.’s Italian unit Wind Tre SpA, the country’s third largest phone company, reported a suspected security threat in some of its workstations, according to an internal memo seen by Bloomberg.
“All of you have read about large-scale threats to informatics systems involving more than 250,000 companies and public organizations all over the world,” Wind Tre Chief Executive Officer Jeff Hedberg wrote in a emailed message to the workforce on Friday. “In this context, about 40 computers of our company have experienced disruption, inefficiencies and consequently some documents stored in the company’s file sharing system aren’t available at the moment.”
