Gerd Bär GmbH is back after cyber attack! - As of 5 December 2025

BÄR has had a turbulent few days! After the cyber attack on Friday, 28 November 2025, every effort was made to resume business operations. Today is the day! To ensure that this is possible again in full, we need your support in some areas.

Our email security has been restored. Please forward the following information to your IT department so that you can receive emails from BÄR again: SPF, DKIM and DMARC records have been set for Bär Cargolift domains and the provision of S/MIME certificates has been initiated.

Please note that emails sent between Friday, 28 November 2025 and Monday, 1 December 2025 inclusive probably did not reach us. Please resend them to: vk@baer-cargolift.de

Orders for Cargolifts and spare parts can now be placed as before. If you are unable to log in to the WebShop for spare parts, please clear your browser cache before trying again.

Production is back up and running. We will keep you informed about any specific delays to your deliveries.

Note on protection against phishing and bank fraud: 
Gerd Bär GmbH has not changed its bank details or contact information in the context of the cyber attack. If you notice any unusual transactions in the coming weeks or months, or if you receive a request to use new bank details, please contact us immediately by telephone or email to confirm this change. It cannot be excluded that cybercriminals may use data stolen from us to obtain bank details or other personal data using forged letters. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your cooperation. Information on this subject is also available from the Federal Office for Information Security at the following short link: https://www.bsi.bund.de/dok/6599686

Investigations are currently underway to determine what and how much data the cybercriminals stole from the IT systems. Gerd Bär GmbH is consulting with an external specialist in data protection and IT forensics in order to coordinate appropriate measures to inform affected individuals or customers.
