Sources have indicated that ECU Worldwide is currently undergoing a cyber attack. The company has not officially confirmed the nature of the problem, but one staff member told The Loadstar that all the systems are down.

The Loadstar has been unable to access the company’s website. One source said his company had blocked all emails from ECU Worldwide as a precaution.
