The attack on Zaun in Steel Drive, Wolverhampton, took place on August 5 and 6.

It was carried out by the LockBit Ransom group.

Zaun, which has a five-acre production site, says its cyber security prevented the server from being encrypted.

The West Midlands regional cyber crime unit is aware of the attack.

Zaun has been able to continue work as normal with no interruptions to service.
