Quantum Systems resolves malware incident in QBase ground-control software, Bundeswehr resumes drone flights
Quantum Systems detected and contained a malware infection in an update to its QBase ground-control software that affected servers including those of the German Bundeswehr. The incident was identified at the end of October, prompting the Bundeswehr to temporarily ground its drones as a precaution. The malware did not infect the drones directly, and normal operations have since resumed worldwide. Quantum Systems attributed the attack to persistent cyber threats faced by European defense industry players and those supporting Ukraine’s military efforts. The company worked closely with authorities to mitigate the risk, ensuring no ongoing threats to drone operation.
