SLU supplier hit by cyber attack
Published: 27 August 2025
On Monday 25 August, SLU was informed that the company Miljödata, supplier of the Adato system, had been hit by a cyber attack. The extent of the attack is unclear and it is not known whether any personal data has been leaked.
Adato is our system for monitoring sick leave and documenting rehabilitation and other preventive measures. The system contains sensitive personal data about employees and former employees at SLU.
The supplier has taken measures to limit the attack, and Adato has been shut down to isolate any damage. Other IT systems at SLU are functioning as normal.
SLU has reported the incident to the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) and the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (Imy). Miljödata has reported the cyber attack to the police.
SLU takes this incident seriously and is receiving regular updates from Miljödata on how the situation is developing.
More information will be provided as soon as we know more.
