Norwegian aluminum producer Norsk Hydro ASA (NHY.OS) was subjected to an "extensive" cyberattack in the early hours of Tuesday, with operations at several of its business areas impacted, it said.

"IT systems in most business areas are impacted and Hydro is switching to manual operations as far as possible," it said in a statement.

The company added that it is working to contain and neutralize the attack, but doesn't yet know the full extent of the situation.
