Hesse state administration in Germany cut internet access from workstations on May 13 2026 after its Trellix security provider suffered a cyberattack. The restriction blocks standard browsers like Chrome and Edge while email and videoconferencing remain operational. RansomHouse claimed responsibility on May 8 2026 for unauthorized access to Trellix source code repository on April 17 2026 and provided screenshots of appliance management system access. Trellix confirmed the repository breach on May 1 2026 and stated no evidence that source code release or distribution process was affected. Hesse state administration imposed the internet ban as a preventive measure following the Trellix incident.
