BA, BBC and Boots hit by cyber security breach with contact and bank details exposed
The BBC, British Airways and Boots have been caught up in a cyber incident that has exposed employee personal data, including bank and contact details, to hackers.
A ransonware group named Clop has claimed responsibility for the breaches centered around the MOVEit file transfer software.
In an email to Reuters on Monday, the hackers said “it was our attack” and that victims who refused to pay a ransom would be named and shamed on the group’s website.
Work by Microsoft had earlier suggested that the Russian-speaking ransomware gang was behind the attack.
It emerged last week that a so-called zero-day vulnerability – a flaw – in the file transfer system MOVEit, produced by Progress Software, had been exploited by cyber criminals.
