Aurubis AG, Europe's biggest copper producer, was hit by a cyberattack overnight that it said appeared to be part of a wider attack on the metals and mining industry.

The company has shut down numerous systems and had to disconnect from the internet as a preventative measure, it said in a statement on Friday afternoon, after disclosing initial details of the attack earlier in the day. Production "could largely be maintained" and it's working with investigating authorities, it said on Friday.
