Dewan Farooque Motors Limited (DFML) said its corporate data “have been corrupted badly” while “IT servers crashed” due to a cyber-attack.

The company shared the development in its notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Friday.

“We have onboarded a security consultant for detailed forensic assessment and eliminating potential security threats from the entire infrastructure,” the automaker said, adding that detailed findings will be concluded after the completion of the assessment.
